Tough Times for Tiny.

This little boy has been having a tough time of late.

One cold followed by another which equates to numerous sleepless nights and lots & lots of screaming.

I had him at the doctors last week after he'd been up over 10 times through the night and was screaming inconsolably but after numerous checks they put it down to teething combined with a bad cold. He started to get better but on Saturday night his temperature was through the roof. We co-slept for the first time in months and although he managed to get some sleep I found myself up all night trying to calm him when he woke and constantly checking his breathing and temperature.

By Sunday afternoon he seemed to have perked up so we went to my parents to spend the night. Cue the worst night of John's existence. We co-slept again but John just couldn't settle for long. And by 10am he was still trying to sleep and had no interest in being up & awake. After a sleep on his Granny's chest he returned to constant screaming and whilst changing his nappy at lunchtime I noticed there was a rash on his chest and back. After doing the glass test I wasn't 100% on the results so we took a trip to the local hospital to be sure. But again, everything was fine, put down to a cold & teething.

Today he's been much better. He slept from 8pm-6am, fed and went back to sleep until 10am. He's still very cuddly but only moany, with little screaming. Hopefully this is him starting to feel better. I don't know how much longer I can cope with such an unsettled soul.
