Chesty

Freya been snotty and miserable since last weekend. She was briefly better mid-week but has slowly developed a cough. Until last night it was just tickly but last night was horrible for her as she was so obviously trying to cough stuff up and kept gagging and gasping for breath.

I'm terrible for taking the kids to the Dr as they always make you feel you're wasting your time and yoiu feel silly for worrying. However, it's the weekend now and I don't want it to get worse and for her to get really ill so have rung the out of hours Dr just in case...am waiting for a call back.

I feel I'm being a neurotic, over-protective Mother! Bothering them with a cough! I probably wouldn't have if Noah was the one with the cough but Freya's still so diddy.

UPDATE:
I've got an appointment in an hour or so. They asked lots of questions and felt that because she's coughing stuff up and sounds rattly and wheezy, because she's so young it's best to get her checked out.

She's even lost her little voice bless her - she just whistles and wheezes!

She's probably absolutely fine but I'd rather make sure. I was more paranoid for myself, lol, that if I didn't at least make them aware she was poorly, if she suddenly got worse I'd be labelled a negligent mother or something!

UPDATE:
She's fine - nothing sinister going on. She's 'noisy' but it's shifting, whatever it is and the Dr didn't seem too concerned. He checked her ears, nose and throat and everything and told me he just wanted to reassure me. Made me feel like one of those Mums that races to the Dr at the drop of the hat (which I'm not - Noah's only ever been once....apart from his op business) and for no reason although was very nice about it.

I really wasn't panicking about her, lol - just didn't want it to get worse if it was something horrible which it really does sound like! She can't even cry where's she's lost her voice - it's going to be a nightmare overnight knowing if she's ok while I'm sleeping if she can't make a sound!
