3rd April 2011......oh no

.....Maisie had a pretty good day today, which is great, she finished her antibiotics, which is good, at last now were just on paracetamol wooohoooo!!!! Maisie went to bed as normal, and settled well, but she woke around 10pm and she was screaming like you've never heard a baby scream before, there was obvious pain somewhere...Alan cuddled her for a while, then I took over, we tried putting her teething stuff on her gums because she's teething again, but that did not help at all. Alan was stroking her right leg and foot, we did wonder if she was getting cramp as we know this can happen with a child in a Spica Cast, Alan gently put his finger into the cast on the right side as its only to her knee there is a nice gap around the top of her leg to get a finger in, Alan could feel the muscle that had tightened up....Muscle Cramp.....poor baby, she was screaming the house down in agony with it, I personally have never experienced cramps, but Alan does frequently, so I know how hard it is for Alan to deal with as he gets them really bad. I cannot see my baby like that again it was horrific. Maisie's muscle cramp took around a hour of screaming before it went away, then we had to get her settled again so we could put her back to bed! Will be making Maisie an emergency appointment with the doctor in the morning and see what they say about it....
