Mummascribbles – We've had a breakthrough! – Mummascribbles

It had to happen, it couldn’t last forever. After my ramblings over the past few days, Zach seems to be getting better. There is no more screaming when he wakes up, no more screaming when he swallows, and he has made it through the entire day at nursery in his pyjamas (children in need week!). This morning, when I asked him how his throat was, he replied feeling better .

The night before last, we soothed him to sleep and he went fairly easily. He woke up briefly but soothed himself back to sleep. He woke up at 2am and let me soothe him back to sleep.

Last night, he fell asleep on his own and he slept through the night, as did we 🙂

He is still favouring daddy, but in the way he did before he was ill, when I could handle it and when he wasn’t screaming more just because I was with him. He’s let me cuddle him and kiss him and when I dropped him at nursery this morning, he was happily waving me goodbye.

The breakthrough has happened. A sense of normality has been restored. I’ll be very upset if he gets another bloody illness soon after this one!

Thanks to everyone who has posted lovely comments on here, Facebook and Twitter over the last few days. They have really helped, as has this blog for allowing me to get it all out to people who understand!!

Much love,

Mumma 🙂
