The hiccups continue

Neil started with hiccups on Friday night (UK time) not long after the Christchurch NZ earthquake hit (their Saturday morning).

He STILL has hiccups.

With a Wicked Willow hat on I say "bored now", but mostly I'm just worried that the doctor's warning that someone had hiccups for around 60 years will come true with us...

Poor Neil, how awful. Really hope his hiccups stop soon. You'll have to resort to hypnotizing him out of it Lisa :-)

Does he still have the hiccups? Try this trick... Have him take a really deep breath, hold it, and then inhale a little more. He may have to do it several times. It equalizes the air in the lungs, which is often why people get the hiccups.

the hiccups finally left after 10 days (yes, TEN DAYS) but thankfully have also not returned (crosses everything).

Thanks for all the tips, though since Cloud's breathing isn't great anyway, he totally cannot do any of the holding breathe things (he always claims he has never mastered the art of breathing!)

Goodness gracious. I get them frequently... but TEN days?! Holy tamale.
