our boys are sick

meldoo2002

I feel so bad.  They are 9 weeks old... 39 weeks gestationally and are weighing 6lbs.1oz. and 6lbs.8oz.  My dad passed away last weekend so we've had a number of out of town visitors and we tried to follow all the rules about smokers, washing hands, keeping a blanket between baby and people, and not even letting alot of people hold them, but they still ended up with colds.  I feel so bad for them.  The doctor said there's not much to do except keep them upright, run the humidifier, use saline drops, and the bulb syringe.  I hope this doesn't last long.  The visiting nurse is coming Sunday so at least she'll be able to take a look at them.

I swear there must be a wave of colds going around again.  I have left the house a total of 4 times since dd has been home and I managed to get a cold and I gave it to her.  She was only 3 weeks old when she got it and it scared the crap out of me.  Thankfully, she hasn't run a fever and she seems to be getting over it pretty quickly (she's been congested for about a week)  I hope your boys get over it quickly too!

Oh, Poor boys. I am sorry about your dad's passing. It would be hard to "follow the rules" in that scenario. I hope they are feeling better soon and again, very sorry for your loss.

I also send my condolences on the loss of your dad. ?Don't beat yourself up about the colds. ?If it's going to happen, it's going to happen and although none of us want our babies sick, a cold isn't the worse thing in the world. ?Your dr gave good advice and I am sure they will bounce back in time. ?The important thing is that you were able to be surrounded by your loved ones during this time.

I am so sorry about your dad.  I can't imagine how tough a time this must be.  It sounds like you're on top of what the boys need.  I hope they feel better soon.

im so sorry to hear that! please make sure to take good care of yourself. loosing a parent is very sad, stressful and will take a while to go through the greiving process. ask for help when needed, try not to be supermom.
