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.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
