I just got Eli to finally sleep. Something is not right with him, in addition to the teething, i think he may either have another ear infection, or some other pain. So, i will have to take him to the Dr tomorrow morning for a checkup. I am tired and could definitely use some sleep myself before he wakes up again.
Every time the kids get sick, or i have to worry sick about something going on with them, am reminded of my own mother, and how she always talked about what we put her through…oh mama, now i understand what you meant, sorry for the pain but i am sure it was worth it, definitely!
So, if you or your loved ones are sick today, i pray you feel better soon. I know some of you who are going through major treatments, may be afraid to go back to the Dr’s offices again, but it will be ok, just don’t lose hope. Hang in there, work with your Dr’s and be honest with them. If you have any questions ask, there are no stupid questions. When my husband takes Julian for a Dr’s appointment, i make him a list of questions to take with him. The Dr is there to work with you by getting you on the right track,back to recovery, so find a Dr that you are comfortable working with. You have to be able to be open and build a trusting relationship with your Dr, otherwise you find yourself holding back, and you won’t get the care you need.
For a child, take a favorite toy or book with you to use in the waiting room. It is easy to catch some bugs from playing with some of the toys in the waiting areas, remember other sick children also touched them. The same can apply to us adults too, how many of us read the magazines at the Dr Office.
Stay healthy.
