my daughter

bumping up

We tried first puls and went to the 1m. We also tried lyco but with both meds her sleep never really improved. Lyco brought on a lot of anus troubles so we soon switched to sulph.

Hmmm....it's not really enough to prescribe on though.

If she is not scared on waking alone, what is she? What is the mood or impression of what is going on for her?
She doesn't cry out usually when she wakes up, instead calls out for me or daddy to come lie down next to her. She does want someone near her. But i don't think she's terrified.

How does she sleep with you when you go to her in bed?
She sleeps on a rather big bed for her size, and she keeps tossing around all over. I'm sitting on the side of the bed and she turns away from me and sleeps. Somtimes her leg is over a pillow and she sleeps close to it.

Describe more on 'trumpeting'.
If she gets a cough, it starts in the middle of the night, dry, and with that harsh sound from deep within. She will cry with that cough, and complain that it hurts the chest and/or tummy. It will take a day or two before that cough can turn loose. And when she has that kind of cough, and gags on food, usually a really loud burp will come out.

Describe more on 'wet but not troublesome'. Once the cough becomes loose, it doesn't hurt her anymore or doesn't prevent her from eating or sleeping. She's calmer. She'll have one or two wet coughs, and that's it it'll stop. It doesn't become continuous. ANd this will go on for days, and then finally you just don't hear it anymore.

What kind of discharge comes with the cough? I don't know because she doesn't spit anything out. If she throws up after eating or drinking which she rarely has done when the cough has been bad, it's usually just frothy.

What aggravates the cough?
Eating.

What ameliorates the cough?
She'll have a sip of water. Drinks more at night before bed.

How else can you describe her in bed? What does she feel like? What does she look like if you watch her? Try to describe how she moves around in bed.

She tosses about a lot. She doesn't like the blanket. She'll ask for the blanket, then will say i don't want it. Or if she accepts it and falls asleep with it, she'll wake up around 10 all tangled in it. Her wakeups are predictable- around 10-11, 2-4.. and then up by 6:40am.

Describe more on 'puts things back in their place'.
She'll use a toy, and put it back. She doesn't make a mess. She'll get stuff for me, and then go put it back. Or if something like my phone is somewhere where it's not supposed to be, she'll go run get it and give it to me so i can put it back. She doesn't get upset if things are messy though, she just likes to be able to find things where she left them. She gets frantic when she loses things and will keep asking me to find it.

Describe more on 'order and routine'.
She asks to have a shower pretty much same time everyday, she changes her clothes at the same time, if breakfast or lunch is a little delayed, she will start crying cuz she's hungry 'on schedule'.

What 'certain way' does she like her clothes? SHe likes some shirts of hers that if given the freedom will wear it everyday. SHe refuses dresses. She has her own style of dressing, and will match her own clothes. She doesn't like her hair on her face, likes it pulled back and away.. Complains that it's messy.

Describe how she 'hits back'.
If her brother attacks her, she's ready to punch him hard, or pull at his hair. IF he retaliates and its hard, then she'll cry loud. SHe's on defense mode when he comes near her.

What does she fear?
She doesn't like dogs. She won't even go near them. She doesn't like ants either. She's jealous of her father, if he comes close to hug me, or kiss me, she comes in between, and says: 'look at me only, don't look at him'. She doesn't do that if i hug her brother though.

How is she with strangers?
She was afraid of strangers until recently. Now she'll look towards me, and if i tell her its okay to say hi, she does. But she won't readily just go to anyone.

How is she with animals? Dogs or bugs she doesn't like. She hates bees.

She doesn't like watching tv. She likes dancing, she likes music. She's quiet at school. Does her work independantly, doesn't socialize with other children. Asks teachers if she needs help. She's meticulous and seems to finish a task before going onto the next one. At home tho, when she's working on puzzles, she gets frustrated if she can't do it. Her teachers say, she's a girl who knows what she wants, and knows what she doesn't want. There is no coaxing or persuading. IF she's done eating, she'll get up saying i'm done! and that's it. IF she's hungry, she wants her food asap.

During sleeping time, she'll keep tossing and turning, talking, etc. then i'll tell her a little firmly, go to sleep now. close your eyes, and in 5 seconds she's out. I think this happens every night.

an you describe the mood she is in when you go into her at night? If not terrifed, then what? This might be more intuitive than something you have concrete reasons for feeling.

I actually think you are intuitively sensing what is going on here, but I don't want to draw attention to that yet.

Describe the sound 'Trumpeting'.

Can you describe how she gets when she sees dogs? What does she say about them?
'I don't like it'. And then she sticks closer to me. But she'll watch it.

Can you describe how she is with ants, and then with bees? Again, what does she say about them?
WIth bees she cries if they come close to her. And ants- she'll call out for someone to come see it, and she'll move away.



How is she with the weather, the temperature? She doesn't really sweat or complain of weather at all. We go through freezing temps, and she doesn't mind it. Only at night, when it is still quite cold in her room, she says she's hot with the blanket.

Another note: She's impatient. If she wants anything, she needs it immediately. She likes to tell her brother what to do, and what's good for him. SHe'll try to be motherly.

Very frequently after bowel movements, she'll complain of her anus being sore. ANd i can tell it's a bit of a piercing pain, because she'll be doing something, and then suddenly scream out ow! and crouch down. I can't tell where the pain is all the time, sometimes i feel it could be at the perineum because her hand goes there... or sometimes it's at the anus.

woops. I missed the first few questions.


Can you describe the mood she is in when you go into her at night? If not terrifed, then what?
SHe has a peculiar cry when she's scared, and that's not the kind of tone of voice she has at night. When she's scared, she will bury her face in my neck. And she doesn't do that at night. Sometimes it just seems like she's woken up and cannot go back to sleep, and needs that assurance that i'm there. Some nights she's quite wide awake so she'll ask to go pee, drink water, and toss and turn. SOme nights she's smiling away, hugging and carressing me and struggles over an hour to fall back asleep. Some nights she does cry and calls out for me, but that's when she's half asleep and all you have to do is set her back down to her pillow and she'll instantly fall back asleep. But she's always always sitting down when i go to her.


Describe the sound 'Trumpeting'. Uhm.. that really loud hoarse deep cough. Rough. Dry. No expectoration. When i get that kind of cough, it burns my throat, but don't know what it does to her just that it hurts her. ANd sipping water helps. Coughing hurts, and she much rather not cough. If i feel its getting loose i ask her to cough more, and she says no.

Another note: she does complain of tummy aches. Doesn't like light touch over her navel but doesnt mind it massaged. She frequently lifts up her shirt when her tummy is bothering.

She likes to be funny and loves when we laugh at her jokes. She is communicative and independent. She speaks well, changes her clothes by herself. And likes to do things on her own. She's petite and on the thin side.

She likes jumping and doing somersaults. She listens to instructions well and will generally follow everything.

Hope this info helps. Another chronic problem she has is on and off yellowy discharge will come on her left eye. Its not a whole lot that it will make her eye sticky, but it's yellow, and globby and sticks to her eyelashes and hard to remove.

ALso, last night i tried a little experiment. I put her in a small toddler size bed. She was excited about it and said she was happy to sleep by 'herself'. She fell asleep. And then woke up around 12:45 to go pee, and asked to drink water. Then woke up around 4 something, and was awake until 5:30. She wanted someone in the room. She didn't care about getting out of bed, or joining me in my room. She wanted me in the same room on another bed. Kept checking if i was still there, and at some point at around 5:30 fell back asleep.

She has never been given calc carb. She wakes up sounding hoarse too but as the day continues it gets better. The only med I have really seen some improvement is Kali sulph. It makes the cough go away, it makes her bms more in quantity and less frequent, but it doesn't help her nite sleep.

Oh and she stops peeing at night w the Kali sulph

Okay. Will be giving her a dose tonight. One drop, 2 hits, in one cup of water? Give her a tspn from that?

Am i to expect an aggrav at nighttime?

She slept better. She cried a few times but it was in sleep. She was talking and crying, but all in sleep. She woke up once for a sip of water and quickly fell back asleep. She also coughed a little in sleep. Not the trumpet kind , nor is it loose. Her mood this morning is pretty good.

Not much effect. She wakes up around 3 am to pee and after that just can't fall back asleep. She drinks a lot of water at night. She is awake for about two hrs struggling to sleep. Her nose she says is blocked.

All same
