Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Hey Maggie, I am sorry you are feeling so low. It is tiring dealing with so much all at once, has just had a bad infection and finished his IV's on Christmas Eve, had a cold and then had a reaction to the virus which sent her asthma spiralling out of control, last night was the first night in three weeks that she has slept though, it is hard on a 5 year old to cough constantly too. Now Rosie has become ill too, yesterday morning she was fitting for two hours, just partial siezures but on and off for nearly 2 hours, then she slept al afternoon, she was up all the previous night. thankfully she did sleep for 5 hours last night then we took her into our room and she slept fitfully for another 2. has once again been the healthiest child in the house, although he too has a chest infection but being an otherwise almost healthy 7 year old he has fought it off almost. On The day after Christmas day woke with pain and altered sensation down his entire left side, it gradually focused on his left arm, he was dizzy and disorientated all day, the Doctor thinks it was a virus but it has reoccurred over the last few days sporadically, so I think once the kids are back at school we will have to folow that up...like we need something else to worry about. Anyway this was not supposed to become a pity party, I was just empathising with the feeling worn down with illness. I am not sure if it is different easier or harder when the sickness is in your loved ones or yourself? I kow that soemtimes I just long for a "normal life"...what is that though? Non of us knows what burdens our neighbours carry, each of us has our own cross to bear and God has promised to give us the strength to meet our trials....I don't think it says we will not be given more than we can bear it says He will give us the strength to bear what He gives us:-) Trust in God that is where our Strength lies, and He makes no mistakes. Take it from me your loved ones would not prefer for you to die so they can get used to it. Grief and Loss is not an easy way out.
