Easter is approaching and Ronan is all excited. He is looking forward to Easter eggs and Easter bunnies. :) I was searching for some good gifts for my kids. Amazon has a lot of trendy stuff. If you also are on a lookout to gift your near and dear ones, please check out these exciting stuff.
Ronan's behaviour during his bout of sickness
Ronan is 6.5 months old. The weather is acting crazy these days.Itz winter time but it is hot in the afternoons and looks like it will rain as the sun gets hidden by the clouds which say "Yes, we are going to pour down."
Ronan, Richie and I started taking evening walks just to have some fresh air. One of the cousins developed cold and as all the children play together Richie and Ronan too were affected. I treated Richie with expectorant and he seemed fine again, Ronan's cold didn't show up much until one morning when he started coughing and whizzing a bit. We took him to the doctor who gave him a dose of medicines. We thought he will be all right by the next day. But to our utter dismay his whizzing worsened, so much so that he could not breath properly. He was crying and was looking so tired, that I could not see him suffering.
He used to sleep for 10 mins and then wake up feeling choked. That whole night was terrible, with me and my mom-in-law taking turns holding him throughout the night. I was just waiting for the morning sun so that we could get him some good treatment. The child specialist told us that he is suffering from mild bronchitis and should feel better in a day or two after the intial dose is complete.
Today is the 2nd day and yes, Ronan is feeling much better. He has become playful and is responding well to the medicines. But one thing I must say. Ronan is very naughty. He knows when I come to give him medicines. I guess he smells them. ;) He keeps his mouth shut tight and does karate to throw the spoon or dropper down. He really drove the hell out of me. I tried mixing the medicine with honey but it was a big NO NO. He was like, "Mama, we are too smart not to understand which is medicine and which is not". Today his dada thought he will give a try and guess what, dada was in for a surprise. Inspite of me too holding Ronan he was just not ready to co-operate. But at last we succeeded.;)
What are your thoughts/experiences in taking care of children when they are sick? Did you face any difficulty?
Could you share your techniques of handling your child's behaviour?
