Sad and could use a hug

K hasn't been herself since this weekend. First she randomly puked overnight Saturday and we didn't even know until the next morning. She puked again on the way home from the store but was in good spirits the rest of the weekend. Ate normally and slept great.

Monday the perpetual cough started acting up again. Runny nose = post nasal drip cough. She's been sleeping fine, but just seems off. When I picked her up Monday from daycare she just wasn't her normal, happy self. Tuesday morning she didn't want to go to school and my husband said she cried when he dropped her off. Totally unlike her.

Last night we gave her Benadryl before bed because the cough was bad. She was coughing all night and up at 4am. She seems tired and just sad. I wish she could communicate better and tell us what's wrong. It breaks my heart that she's in pain or sad and we don't know what's wrong or how to help her.

Daycare just called to say she was a little off, which obviously we knew. They said she fell asleep at 11am and was still sleeping. And the cough is just persistent.

We've called the ped countless times and we're doing everything they recommend. I've taken her temp daily since Saturday and she doesn't have a fever. I'd love to stay home with her but work is too busy and I'd rather save my time off for when she's really sick. We're going to see if my MIL can stay with her tomorrow in the hopes that being home and getting one-on-one attention helps.

    Ugh, hugs mama.  It's so rough when they aren't feeling well and just aren't themselves and there isn't much we can do.  Hang in there.  Hopefully some time with grandma tomorrow will help her mend and get her spirits back.

    I'm sorry its been so rough. It really sucks when they are sick and can't tell you what is wrong. I also understand not wanting to take time off from work but can someone else take her to the pedi? I know you said no  fever but with this many days sick I would feel better having the pedi take a look ..sometimes there is an illness and the fever may be at the tail end of it all...since she isn't acting herself..I would take her in...

    Hope things turn around and she is all better soon!

    Poor little girl! It's so tough when LOs don't act like themselves. :(

    I hope she feels better soon and is back to her usual self! (((hugs)))

    (((Hugs))) Hope she is feeling better soon! I wonder if the vomiting was related to the post nasal drip? Are you doing saline?

    Thanks ladies. I just got off the phone with the ped and I'm bringing her in at 4pm. My gut is screaming at me that I need to at least have her checked out, for my own peace of mind.

    Em - not doing saline. She HATES it and it just isn't worth her getting so worked up.

    ((HUGS)). I hope Katie feels better soon. I understand how you feel, it is so hard when they are sick and you just have to go to work.  Have you tried a vicks plug in and  vapor rub. I find that help Katie when she has a really bad cough.

    Big hug!!  I feel the same way right now...Cal has a perpetual cold anyway, and just came down with a real doozy over the weekend (thanks to me, I think).  He had a fever Sunday night and the cold has only gotten worse.  Yesterday was a rough one at daycare.  He's been sad and clingy (mixed with moments of happiness).  It sounds like she has a nasty virus...I do think there are some that are combo stomach/upper respiratory.  So sorry and I hope the pedi declares her A-OK, even if she's not in perfect health!
