Yay...lower bilirubin levels

Yay, Jillian's bilirubin level is down to 180! But doc says we should bring her back again tom to check.

Poor Jon has got a blocked nose and slightly runny nose + phlegm! His nose will be blocked and since he's breathing through his opened mouth, it would be very dry and he will wake up having a dry throat. He can't breathe through both nose and mouth and drink at the same time. Not a nice time at night...

Simon helped pumped some meds to dissolve Jon's phlegm (although he spat half of it out), and I soothed and comforted him, then rubbed a little of oil (just to help psychologically), then tried to give him some water. It worked initially, but not the later two times when he woke up. But his crying somehow made him breathe a little more, and that helped him. soon he would be tired and will fall asleep again.

More of the phlegm meds later on Tuesday. Poor baby.

Hey Kim, thanks for your message at FB - thought I'd write to you here coz I'm having some problems opening FB now. My boys are ok - busy with school and computer games and disturbing me. Good to hear you have support in your household to help you with the kids while you rest as much as you can. Yes I do have a blog! :) It's http://angel08.wordpress.com.

Good to hear that Jillian's doing better now, very soon all will be well.

Hope Jon will feel better soon cause i can just imagine the difficulty in blocked noses & phlegms.

You take care too cause the weather's not getting any better, terribly hot at one moment, and raining next!!!
