Strong medicine








































Hi All,

This week absolutely flew by and you can see how much little one has grown just in the last couple of days! He's talking so much and is really getting such a cute personality now! He even throws little tantrums when he wants his dummy. His nose is still very blocked and he still has a cough. On Thursday we gave him the coryx that the doc said we should use if his symptoms don't clear up and my oh my what a mistake that was! Our little one started shaking like mad, it was his epilepsy twitches times ten! When we looked at the side-effects it said tremors, convulsions etc. etc., so we phoned the doctor and he said we should just check his breathing and wait it out. If his breathing gets affected at all we must take him to the ER! Well, Wes and I didn't take our eyes off of caden until 24h00 when the tremors finally stopped. Shame, Wes had to go to work the next day with bloodshot eyes, but he managed to get through it! We had such a fright, but luckily it's all fine now. The only problem is that we can't give him anything other than saline and panado for his cold now. Hopefully eventually it'll do the trick, but I feel so sorry for him, he really struggles to breathe through that nose!

Yesterday he was so awake and we got to play for a long time! He also met Dale and Lisa for the first time and got a beautiful teddy, thanx Lees! At about 14h00 I quickly went to Unitas to go and get his epilepsy medicine, but they didn't have stock. Then I went to two other pharmacies, and they didn't have any stock either. I even phoned Carstenhoff but their pharmacy was closed to the public over weekends! I started panicking, because I realised too late that the bottle was finished, and he had to have the medicine that same day! After a couple of phone calls and two hours of searching we finally found some at Dis-chem, phew! When I eventually got home I bathed our little angel and then we had a very chilled braai with Yolandi, Gerrie, Ettiene, Adriana and Anel. It was so nice and the food was incredible!!! This morning we had a king's breakfast and after that aunt Lettie came to meet Caden. Now we are doing our usual Sunday nothing, how nice!

Wes's job is going well, he seems to enjoy it, especially working office hours now and not in the evenings and over weekends! It's just a lot of new things to learn, but that's the case with any new job. Other than that we're all doing well and looking forward to another week of development. I can't believe he's 4 months old already!

Anyway, have a great week and don't work too hard

Lots of Love
Elriza

Hi there
Thanks for the lovely pics on the blog. It brought back wonderful memories of your time here. Caden, Grampy says that next time you come to visit, you and him are going to the Blue Peter and to the beach because then the weather will hopefully be warmer and you will also be bigger and stronger. He cannot wait. Gran has again kissed that lekka bekkie and fat cheeks on the blog. Just being the old ditzy granny again. Love you lots little one and missing you all very, very much. Uncle Brendon just smiled when he saw the photo of the two of you again.
Get better soon. God bless and lots of hugs and kisses
Grampy, Granny, uncle Brenz and Granny Grey.

Liewe Caden,
Die foto's bring sommer 'n lekker kry in my binneste.
Saterdag was jou Friis familie weer bymekaar - jammer jy het nog verkoue gehad.
Vanoggend vroeg het ek gehoor van Tannie Ronel wat uit Nieu-zeeland skryf - sy volg jou ontwikkeling op die blog. Sy is baie oulik en slim en het ook goeie smaak, want sy dink jy's pragtig!!
Ek is nogsteeds baie trots op jou ma en pa - hulle pas jou mooi op.
Ek is baie bly dat jou pa gelukkig by sy werk is. Jy mag maar gesond word, sodat jou ma nie meer op hok hoef te wees nie.
Hoop julle sal vandag weer warm water hĂȘ.
Baie liefdetjies,
Ouma Rina
