My two year old is very, very sick tonight.

[mainegreen]

This makes me very sad.

Nothing like seeing a wee one without the will do do anything. All he says is 'maybe later' and 'no thank you', and all he does is sit with his head on the pillow, staring off at nothing. His fever is still at safe levels, but it just makes me sad to see him this way.

He's napping right now, but his coughing has kept waking him up today.

:(

1. Ouch, that hurts my mommy heart just reading it...

:hug: for you and your wee one.

3. The worst part, is I think I may have given it to him.

2. Aw... I know just how you feel.

I hope he feels better very, very soon.

[mainegreen]

13. I hope so too.

He's so snotty I can here him snoring. But still sleeping, so that's good.

4. I spent 7 hours in the emergency room with my 2 year old last night

His fever had gotten really high and the nurses on the Children's Healthcare hotline thought it best for us not to wait to get to the doctor's office today. He's got strep throat.

It is terrible to have to see him just laying there not wanting to get up and play.


Bless the poor babies. I hope your little one is better soon. :hug:

[mainegreen]

12. Thanks.

He's still sleeping. This is good.

How you holding up this winter?

26. Well, I am not too excited about the weather. ElderGreenKid started middle school

b-ball this year and has missed more games and practices. *shaking head* He's pretty disappointed so far.

Bit worried about tomorrow. I hear the roads are quite slick and it's hubby's longest day out driving around for work. :(

6. I hope he's feeling better soon...

It's an awful feeling when you can't just fix them, isn't it? :hug::hug::hug:

[mainegreen]

15. Yup.

[bigwillq]

7. I hope your youngin' is feeling better soon.

:hug:

[mainegreen]

16. Me too.

[LadyoftheRabbits]

8. Aww

I don't even have kids (yet) and that makes me sad. :( Hope he feels better soon.

10. You were like that when you had pneumonia

glassy-eyed and not moving from your blanket on the floor. You were a sick little girl.

:hug:

[mainegreen]

21. Thanks.

I want the old crazy little guy back.

[applegrove]

9. Glad the fever is not too high. Hope he gets well soon.

[mainegreen]

18. Me too. I'll know if he pounces on me or not at 6am.

If I wake up with a wet diaper butt in my face and demands of cereal, then I will know all is well.

[applegrove]

24. Sounds like the best way of all to wake up.

[lizziegrace]

14. I hope it's just a short time before he's back to normal

I know how hard it is to see them so sick. :hug:

[mainegreen]

19. Ung I know.

And at this age, it really traumatizes them. He's just too little to understand.

[Gormy Cuss]

17. I hope that wittlegween feels better soon.

Listening to the coughing with a little one is pretty rough.

[mainegreen]

20. You know what's funny though?

As I sit here, even though the coughing means he's sick, I listen for the coughs, because when I hear a cough, I feel relieved, because it means he's well enough to cough in the first place, and he's fighting it. Daft, eh?

Gah, parenting is nerve wracking.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

22. Huge vibes for you and LilGreen

Comfort for you, and rest and healing for the wee lad. :hug: :loveya: :hug:

[lightningandsnow]

Hope he feels better soon.
