My baby boy has been sick for the past three days with a fever. A fever that came from no where. Feeling helpless because he is hurting and I don’t know how to take it away. Tylenol every 4 hours to reduce the fever but then what. No other signs just one clingy, eyes watering, quivering lip, mommy calling baby boy. Cuddling helps me feel better and him some what better but it doesn’t stop the fever. It’s times like these that you feel the weakest. Not only because you have no super power to heal but because you are drained and feel as exhausted as he does. Why aren’t children born with high fighting immune systems? Why does it take time to develop? I know there’s a science for everything but they are tiny beings who sometimes can’t fully express their pains or needs. It’s hard enough that they are so small and need to grow, learn how to crawl, walk, run, talk, etc…but isn’t that enough. Do they have to get so sick to the point where all they could do is ride it out? Yes, I know. Fevers help you fight off infections or this all helps build your immune system but why go through it all. There will be enough for them to have to go through and experience. Life is tough a lot of the times and they will learn soon enough so why not give them all a pass when they are babies/toddlers? A mom has a limited number of powers. Wish there was just something more we could do besides lose our patience when we try so hard not to.
Hi there you…..as you are going through these ups and downs with the twins, try to Pause and Breath as this will always keep you centered during these challenging times. Promise!
I sure hope your son is doing better with this new day!
Have you ever tried meditation? I am going to start tomorrow, as Oprah has a 21 day beginners program and I can take at least a half hour and take some quiet time for me. Looking forward too doing this.
I hope you are out and about with the family and I get to share some pictures later of your Sunday…
Love you to the moon and back…..Always know you are a Treasure to us all…..Nancy
Thank you for this beautiful message, Nancy. It’s a blessing to receive reminders from caring souls. Deep breaths make a big difference. I never tried meditating and had no idea about Oprah’s 21 day beginners program. I will definitely look into that. I wish you the best and hope it works for you. We all need quiet time within ourselves.
Today was the first day in three days Gio woke up fever free. He is slowly getting back to my bouncy baby boy. Thank you!
Extending my arms open wide for a big squeeze. Hugs through the miles are the best kind. xo
Sweet Dreams…..and I am so happy that Gio is back to being himself….God Winked……
