Will I ever relax or will I send myself grey?

[Teresa ~ Keaton's Mommy]

Hi Everyone

Some of you may remember in our early days with Kendra that we had a couple of upsetting moments. Firstly she had a nasty absess under her arm then she had some gastric upset, both times resulted in a worrying trip to the paediatric assessment unit where Keaton died. Things have been fine with the occassional cold or upset whilst cutting teeth. Anyhow she has has watery stools for over a week so I took her to our GP last Wednesday and they took a sample which came back today as all clear (still watery stools but I think we can relax that it is related to her teething). Last night she woke in the early hours and would not settle. When she did her breathing was very wheezy so Phil and I spent most of the night watching her. She was fine and settled but we agreed we should go back to the GP (Phil was worried it sounded like croup I was worried as our eldest has mild asthma). So we went back and the lovely doctor was great and checked her all over. Absolutely nothing at all was found, chest clear, heart rate regular.

I don't think this will ever get easier, I am so scared that the one time I don't check there will be something serious. I look at her and know that I could not cope with loosing another of my children.

God bless you all and your angels

I don't think that we ever really relax when it comes to our children, even more so after a loss. I'm sure that Kendra is fit and healthy but me saying this won't stop you from worrying xxxxxx

teresa, what your feeling and experiancing sounds as normal as any other mum to an angel. It's sad that before losing our angels most of us had an almost innocence naivity concerning death, that it just happened to old people or other families in magazines etc but the awful truth is we now know it can happen to anyone, any age so of course we will worry! Probably for the rest of our lives! But i hope you have understanding doctors because you take kendra whenever you need to, however small, because although you know shes fine you'll always worry but probably learn to live with that worry. God how unsuportive is my reply! I just wanted to reassure you that what your feeling is normal x

teresa i am the same , slightest thing and i am worrying , its normal for us angel mums to be like that

It all sounds very normal to me. I have lost count of the times I have taken my two to the GP only to be told its nothing to worry about. I'll never stop taken them because like you I worry that the one thing I dont get checked out will be thing that ends up being serious.

You know kendra better than anyone and you know what doesnt feel 'right' Dont ever feel bad for geting her checked out
