Worse

minervacullen · July 2013

Dd is not improving, she's getting worse. Her fever is a little higher each time the Tylenol wears off, she's had major diarrhea, she threw up a little, she is way fussy. She cried for 2 hours earlier, nonstop, her fever will be gone and in just minutes its higher than the last time. I'm so stressed and worried. It's 3 am and I've had about 30 minutes if sleep so far. I think she's just about asleep again, third times the charm right? I feel so bad for her. She goes crazy if DH holds her, even if he puts his arms out she starts to whimper and nuzzles closer to me.
Please send your T and P her way.
No one else is sick, if it was viral you'd think it would have spread.

It's 530 and I think I finally get to go to bed. At 445 I asked DH to take over the stand, bounce, sway thing she seemed to like. First thing he does is sit in the rocker after I told him what to do and said she doesn't like being rocked. Then after five flipping minutes he starts yelling at her to shut the f up. Yeah I don't need help like that. Azz.

I hope she feels better today. My LO was just sick and it was awful. I felt so bad cause there wasnt much I could do but hold her.

I'm sorry that DD isn't feeling well. I hope that she feels better soon.

On a side note, what's with guys that want to take the easy way out when attending to LOs? Mine will do that all the time - I'll ask him to take her so that I can take a quick nap, and he'll put her in the rock n play with a toy. He'll pick her up if she cries, but by then, I'm up again. So not helpful.

Yeah the on call person said to offer her my breast every hour since she had diarrhea. DS seems to be the only one that can make her laugh and smile lots. She ok with me and flat out crabby with DH.

I know I don't post often but it drives me crazy when people say that their DH doesn't help with the baby and then lump ALL guys into that category. It's not a 'guy thing' to be a lazy parent. It's YOUR guys thing. I thankfully have a very hands on DH who absolutely is not a lazy parent.

And my side note is that I can't imagine staying with someone who thinks it is ok to tell a child to shut the f up! I don't care if she's too young to understand, it is NEVER ok.

Hope she's doing better by now!

Well I'm certainly not going to leave my husband of 11 years because he said something he regrets in the middle of the night, half asleep.

No improvement yet.. Sad face, mobile won't let me make one.

For the record, I never said that all guys were lazy, or even that my SO was a lazy parent. Quite the opposite actually. It's just that he has a different parenting style than I do... He's more likely to try things out like seeing if she'll entertain herself, but then obviously reacts and tries something different if she won't. Sometimes he discovers great things like how well swaddling worked for us, others less so like her lack of love for some toys. I just wish the experimenting didn't happen when I'd like some quiet. I couldn't ask for a better partner really.

Plus, we all have moments that we're not proud of as parents. I'm sure OP's DH did last night. Please don't reply just to point fingers at our flaws.

I hope she feels better soon. It is good you are nursing whenever she wants. BM has antiviral properties and I swear it made dd's fever go down some after I would nurse when she was sick.

She said what's with guys who do that, not why do ALL guys do that. People aren't perfect all of the time, sometimes we say things we don't mean. Her DH isn't abusive, he just had one weak moment.

I hope she feels better soon. I hate that helpless feeling when your baby is sick and nothing you do makes it better. At least she's smiling for her brother!
