Having a sick kid sucks

[dumbledore826]

DS (20 months old) has a random relatively high fever with no other symptoms. We are alternating advil/tylenol per his ped's recommendations and have resorted to my family's "old world treatment" because the meds aren't doing anything. It feels like his fever is finally starting to break. I am EXHAUSTED, and DH has a job interview at 9:30 (he needs to leave at 8am).

That sucks. Are you a SAHM? Is there anyone you could call to get a little help so you can take a nap today or something? Good luck to your DH at his interview!

We have been trading around illnesses among the 3 of us here. I thought I was fine to go to work today, but I just threw up.

You're not alone. Both of my kids are sick and DD2 is currently cutting 4 teeth. DH had to work all weekend (this is his busy time of year) and will need to be at the office until late tonight. I think I've gotten between 2.5-3 hours of sleep each night since last Thursday. Thank goodness for my mom coming to help out. Otherwise, I would have lost my mind.

Hang in there! I know it sucks

AS & WPF......hope you and your LOs are feeling better soon. Lets just say DH and I had other plans for last night (today is my birthday) and I ended up sleeping on pillows on the floor next to the loveseat.

I do SAH (as does DH, he is currently unemployed). My Dad is nearby, but once DH gets back from his interview, he'll let me nap.

Aww, I hope everyone's kiddos feel better soon.
