James is just dandy - he is really good at somethings (rolling and standing -with a little support) but he isn't great at sitting, he just doesn't have the patience lol.
What are the plans for Jacob's Birthday? I can't wait to see piccies of him on his big day
xxxxxxxx

Bless James, Jacob still can't sit from lying down and has only today crawled about 4 inches, usually he drags himself lol.
We've been having a sort out in the garden, weeding and generally tidying up as we were meant to be having a lot of work done in it but we got back off our holiday and Mikey ended up working away for 8 weeks so it didn't happen so were having to make do. So you guessed it we're having a garden party, We've hired a bouncy castle to keep the older children quiet (and Jacob can have a play before the others get here) we're going to get out the 2 paddling pools, we'll have a beech shade out and also maybe the ball pool. We're doing a simple buffet of sandwiches and snacks (nothing healthy lol) and a BBQ (our friends have volunteered to do the BBQ so we get to spend the time with Jacob
)

Well a night in hospital for JD, just what the dr didn't order 
poor little man has had a cold which is fine but since Saturday mid afternoon his temp has not gone below 37.9 and has been as high as 40.4, his breathing was really fast and deep too.
We went on NHS direct, followed by having to call 111 (due to his heart disease) who then booked is an appointment at 20:40, (nearly 2 hours after our call) we went to the appointment got seen at 21:30, got referred to a&e (who said really we should have just gone straight from the appoinent to children's assssment unit but as we has been referred to a&e spent till 1:30 this morning in a&e followed by being referred to children's assssment unit.
He's done a urine sample, had an X-ray on his chest as his liver feels large (X-ray is fine, haven't heard back from urine yet) finally got a bed at 3.20, and by then although Jacob had had no sleep he wanted to play lol, managed to get him to settle cuddled up to me and put him in the cot, they came to do obs at 4:30 and woke him up, luckily he's settled quickly.

Drs have been round, They know its not pneumonia and its not whoosy chest/chest infection, but they don't know why his liver is enlarged or pushed down as X-ray showed no chest infection. His temp is at 37 at the mo but his skin is red hot, his breathing is still rough, they want to do an ECG another urine sample and they have done throat swabs they will have to do bloods if nothing shows up he's also on Anti-biotics but no answers yet.
He's spent all day today asleep of having well deserved cuddles, love my little man so much x x
his hand looks stuck in this, but it isn't x

Hey. Jacob came home last night at 9pm, his temp has stated down today thank goodness. Although he's had a rash come up all over his torso, I called the hospital and they think its to do with his infection rather than a reaction to meds etc.
The discharge papers say he has an upper respiratory track infection, but I'm not convinced, I don't know why this would make his liver larger, also they found blood in his urine which they took another urine sample for and bloods for, the only blood we had back told us he is dehydrated; I'm forcing down as much fluid as I can, what else can they expect of me.
At least we are home and other than him being very tired, doing really well. X x
