My Bubba is sick :(

Well yesterday wasnt such a good day for me. The first day I went over my points. I am not so concerned about that at the moment, more the fact why I had a binge.

My bubba Sebastian has been sick for almost a month. I have taken him to the doctors and they said continue using the vapouriser, Panadol and baby Vicks. I did that, but I also have been giving him chest physio as well. He has been so so congested. He has gone off his booby juice and went on to the bottle, but as the month progressed he has been having less and less.

So I put my foot down and made another appointment for the doctors. He was away sick himself so thats why I had to wait until Friday. I thought Seb had an ear infection and throat infection, and guessed he had a chest infection but I tried to push the thought of him having asthma to the back of my mind.

I am asthmatic and as a child I spent many days and nights in hospital and I hated it. I also had lots of infections and my lungs were not good at all. I had so much Prednisone (steriod) to help open up my lungs it is not funny. That is why I had put on so much weight when I was little and I still have the round face and little bump at the back of my neck.

When the doctor said asthma I initially thought, "Yeah I thought so." But then I thought, "Oh no, my little man, I dont want him to go through what I did." I think said out loud I would get him into swimming to help his lungs. I had planned on doing that anyway. My family all love the water.

When I told Elliott I could see he was upset too. We had the girls with us so I didnt want to show the emotion I was feeling. I was so upset but needed to pretend everything was still okay.

We didnt get home from the Doctors until much later then I had planned. I had planned to have Chicken Breast and veges for my dinner and the girls were having pizza as a treat. The next thing I know I was cuddling Sebastian and giving him all his medicine and it sort of hit home. I was so so upset about it all. So i ended up having pizza (which I normally dont eat as I dont like it) and going over my points for the first time in over 6 weeks.


I have emailed Dominos to find out the Nutritional Value so I can work out the points but having a rough guess I think I went over 8 points for the day. Whats worse is that about an hour later I felt hungry. :( But I acknowledged this and didnt let myself go overboard again.

So in hindsight I know I could have been really bad but I didnt. I guess my subconscious was looking out for me.

Well I am off to research more about alternative treatment for asthma and what not to give him.

Take care and stay focused!!!
