first time parent realization : (

katpres06 · October 2010

Having a child that's sick/not feeling well/ in pain - is a heart wrenching feeling. Although, KYMelissa's post made me realize that it probably never gets easier. DS is running a fever from his shots today. He was screaming so loud that my ears are still ringing. After about half an hour (probably when the tylenol kicked in) he fell asleep on my chest. So I'm sitting downstairs on the couch with DS, too nervous to sleep. Hopefully when I take his temp again, it's gone down some. But damn, that first high fever is kind of scary! I'm sure this is the first of a million things about DS that will have me losing sleep. I know plenty of people go through way more than just a fever, I just wasn't expecting for me to freak out so much! Thanks for letting me get that off my chest

Hang in there mama. You're right it never gets easier. I was so scared on Thursday night when DH called and told me how high his fever was. I waited at work for them to get to the hospital, but it was so hard to concentrate on my patients.

It is so scary! I remember trying to be very calm about her first really high fever, but we ended up in urgent care with a double ear infection and from then on, I was freakishly alert to fevers. It is terrifying!

I saw your post on FB. I hope he's feeling better. I don't know why, but every time my kids get a fever I feel panicky. I hate it.
