Sooooo Sick.

I am sorry but I must have missed a part of the story. I read that you said she woke up this morning all rosy and still not feeling well and then you went on to say you know this is a normal occurrence. This being a normal occurrence is where I get lost. I would never think that this is a normal occurrence. Throwing up, calling for me, being hot, (maybe a fever), and after your attempts to cool her off she still wakes up rosy and not feeling well. I just don't see this as "normal" and I would have already had my child in the Emergency Room last night as I would be terrified she was not "normal" and as concerned as I normally get, I make more out of the situation than I should, I would be afraid that my child had something like Meningitis, a well known, dangerous, mostly childrens disease. I have left this link for you...NOT because I think that is what your child has, but to show you that even the most "normal" symptoms can be something very dangerous. NOT A REFERRAL LINK: http://kidshealth.org/parent/infections/lung/meningitis.html Needless to say I hope that your daughter is feeling better now and will be well VERY soon! ;)

when my children are sick i give them hot milk. that usaly works

since i don't have any kids at the moment, my husband was sick last week and it lasts for 6 days. he took days off from work and just stayed at home. he was shivering and boiling at the same time which i am not happy. i pity my husband if his sick. nobody don't want to get sick.

I hate it when my children or grandchildren are sick. I try to keep them comfortable, and make sure thay get plenty of fluids. I stay awake with them, when it is called for, and i try to let them sleep as much as possible, hoping that when they wake up they will feel a little better.

My 18 month old daughter is always sick. I hate it. She was born early and she seems to pick up everything and anything. She's been in and out of the hosptial during the month of December, made christmas a mess. She finally started getting better and since the beginning of the year she's had just about everything. We now are battling a round of pink eye, and a minor dose of RSV, which was on of the major things she had in december that put her in the hosptial in Decmeber, along with Croup. What makes her feel better is giving her, her favoirte treat, extra hugs and kisses, and just being understanding when she's fussy, she can't tell me what's wrong so it makes it hard sometimes but having the patients to soothe her helps alot.

As a mother of 5 children, I have spent countless nights snuggling up my children. Here's what I do if they have the flu. If they are throwing up, I always put my hand on their forehead, to not only comfort them, but it also cools their head at the same time. Give them some room temperature lemon lime soda, and only clear liquids, and Saltine's until they stop throwing up. Reading a book to them is a good idea too since it seem to keep their mind off their stomach.

Oh my god I can't stand to see my daughters sick I always end up staying up all night with them and I never get any sleep, and then when the sun comes up I can never get them to eat and if I do get them to eat something they just end up throwing up all over the place. It makes me sad to see them not being them self they just site on the couch and say nothing which is not like a 3 year old and a 1 year old. They don't run around I don't even get to see a smile and then I start to get worry because I want them to be happy again and wondering if it is something more than just a cold. I try so hard to make them feel better but you know time will only tell when they will get better.
