real sick

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Thanks for all the well wishes and positive energy..... I sure need it! I've had almost no sleep in almost 48 hours and have a pounding headache and the jitters. I took Noelle to her pedi today. She had a fever of 101.3, coughing, sneezing, congestion, and heavy breathing with a wheeze. She's now on albuterol 3x a day and an antiobiotic for 5 days. she's thrown up twice and is barely eating. Moans all night and all through nap, clingy and crying.... Just real sick. Spots on her face are from being overheated. I have the AC on and cool mist humidifier going. I can't use the Vicks on her because it makes her break out, but that was a good idea. She wants to outside so badly, but it's almost 90% in Jersey now and it's just not possible because of the rash and the fever. The pedi will do a recheck if I want on Thursday if I need reassurance about whether or not we can

still make this trip on Sunday. I thought that was nice of him to offer. I have not been able to keep my girl healthy for more than 2 weeks straight since about December and I feel like I'm failing as a mother that I can't keep my child healthy. We wash hands, take off shoes, avoid indoor public places 1-2 weeks prior to casting.... What am I doing wrong here? Okay, I'm done whining (LOL) and looking forward to some real wine (hopefully tomorrow) and a good night's sleep (hopefully tonight)! Thanks for letting me vent!!!! (again) Steph
