Woke up the other night to hear someone puking in the jacks. Rascal was in a heap. It was coming out all sides and he didnāt know whether to sit on the bog or kneel. Babba had a cough the last week but was taking his feed. Took a turn and thought heād likely got whatever Rascal had so brought him to GP and he sent him off to Crumlin. He has that RSV but heās getting out today. Mrs Hunt said itās carnage up there.

Absolute carnage. Little one out sick since Friday of last week. We had to move last weekend with a sick child. It slowed everything down the fuck.
Took her to docs on Tuesday. Throat infection/ maybe tonsillitis. First time she ever got antibiotics and sheās back on form now. She had no appetite at all for a few days but thatās back now. Hopefully back for Monday.
But the RSV is rampant at moment. Her preschool sent a message around yesterday as so many kids were out so theyāre off doing a deep clean now, whatever fucking difference thatāll make

I dont know how we do it lads.
We used to be like that but now if they say theyāre sick we leave āem at home. If they puke at school youāll end up heading in to collect them.

Three year old in the wars again, ear infection surfaced yesterday after a few days of high temperatures.
Called NOWdoc at 3pm and was told to come down at 7pm. Perfect I thought, heād get antibiotics and be in bed at his normal time.
Landed in and was told that thereās 5/6 ahead of him. Thought this odd if theyāre giving out appointments, but at least thereās two doctors on so should move quickly. They proceeded to let 11 in agead of him and he going off his head in the waiting room.
To make matters worse, when I brought it up at reception the lady in charge said they were prioritizing cases in order of urgency - she could see the puss coming out of his ear. There were at least 3/4 that walked in after him and left with a prescription, not a bother on them.
We eventually got in two and a half hours after the appointment, that they gave him, and the Doctor had him sent home with an antibiotic in less than ten minutes.
Jokeshop of a facility if itās supposed to be more efficient than A&E.

Hiya, quick one, might helpā¦are ye giving your kid milk or milk based products before going to bed or nap time?
It may be an issue where if dairy products are consumed before laying down to sleep, dairy/lactose base mucus develops in the throat that seeps to the ear which naturally decays and causes infection.
Just something we experienced. We were advised the same by another parent, cut it out and solved an issue with one of ours.

Can anyone recommend a good movie - Christmassy or otherwise - for a sensitive 5 year old girl? Would like to get her into movies and going to the cinema, but she gets scared easily, even now Paw Patrol can have her covering her eyes.
