How can you not freak out?

When your DC is sick?!?!? Rational thinking tells me, "It's just a cold, he'll be fine" but the worried mom in me says "What if he chokes on the gunk in his throat, what if he starts wheezing when I'm sleeping and can't breathe, what if his fever gets too high when he's sleeping and I dont notice because I'm sleeping" ....the list goes on. Someone slap me and tell me to snap out of it. I feel like I'm going to spend the entire night staring at him.

    It sounds like someone will be cosleeping tonight.  That's what I'd be doing anyway.  Sorry he's sick!

    My DS has been quite sick for 5 days. I have freaked out about it totally. Today he had a coughing fit from the junk dripping down his throat and it was terrible. But I was right there with him to help him through it.

    We've been co-sleeping.  He usually sleeps right next to me in his co-sleeper anyway, but I've brought him int bed right next to me. That way he wants to eat even more often (though he eats only a little at a time) which is important for the fluids he needs right now.

    I took him to the pedi even though when I called her, she assured me it was just a cold. So when I took him in she checked his lungs and ears to assure me they were clear. And it is just a cold. But 3 months is early for a cold, so yeah... its hard to go through this.

    Tristan is sick right now and I was driving myself nuts. So I drug the pack and play from the first floor to the third so he could sleep with me. He is right at the max weight for the bassinet and he is a wiggle bug now so I didn't trust that.

    Jack's had a cold and it has driven me nuts.  He had a fever for a couple of days of it (called Dr, they said not to worry unless it didn't come down w/ tylenol).  I kept freaking out.  And, yes, I worried that he'd choke or quit breathing or...!

     We cosleep anyway, but I've been staying up staring at him 1/2 the time:)
