T&P for my son

GalwayGirl80 · December 2011

I'm so stressed out and worried about my 8 year old son. He's been sick for going on 5 days now and he isn't getting much better... He has the flu - fever of 102, stuffy/runny nose, pink eye, lethargy, diarrhea, vomiting (from gagging), and absolutely no appetite or will to eat. We're taking him to the doctor first thing tomorrow and I'm praying that they'll give him an antibiotic to help him get better because this is just dragging on far too long. The worst part is that I just want to hold him and cuddle with him but I can't because of the little baby living inside of me and I feel the need to protect her from the flu, too. It's driving me nuts and I've found myself leaving the room to cry because I feel so helpless while watching my son so miserable. I'm just thankful, though, that my hubby is cuddling with him and taking good care of him. He's such a good Dad. I just keep thinking that for Christmas, I just want a healthy & happy family!!!!!
