My baby is sick

First I would like to apologize to you for not getting to your journals the past few days. I have been busy, had a major migrain, and now I have a sick child home from school today. Rebecca woke me up at 12:30 last night. She had gotten sick all over her bed and herself. So, I had to wash her down and change her, change her linens and wash down her bed. Get her settled back into bed. She woke up at 7:15, covered all over on her stomach with that hives rash again and a fever. I gave her the meds and in 20 minutes she was fine, but I still kept her home. I called the doctor and described what has been going on. He says Rebecca's body is trying to get the chicken pox, but her immune system is fighting it off. It should pass soon and she would be fine. But he said if by the end of next week if it is continuing to bring her in and not bother making an appointment, just come in. He also said to continue the Benedryl and Tylenol like I have been doing. I've been giving her iced water all morning, she said it makes her feel cool.

So, I may not get to your journals today either, because Rebecca is keeping me busy tending to her. I have these few minutes to type this because she is drinking iced water and watching a cartoon. OOps there she went and spilled her water, be right back. Ok I am back but I am going to go now. Please say a prayer for her, and one for me that I can make it through this day. LOL

I will get to your journals soon, I promise. I have kept all of them.

  7. When my son had Chicken Pox the only thing that made him feel better was to bathe in Aveeno oatmeal bath. I'd give him one bath after another. It helped the itching. For 3 solid days we didn't sleep! Make sure you get some rest and don't get sick!
    Love ya,

  27. Awww CIndy. I'm sorry Rebecca has been sick. Nothing more frustrating than not being able to make our babies feel better. Has she had a chickenpox shot? That sounds odd, that she is fighting them off. But what do I know. That's why the Docs get the big bucks.
    Take care of her and of YOURSELF too,
    Barb
    (ps sorry I haven't been by more...busy with school kids and dr appointments)

  28. Grr... I'm old school I just think ever child should have the chicken pox and get it over with and let our bodies take care of it. I made all three of mine have them at the same time. I don't believe in that shot and what good was it IF she is having this happen anyway. Sorry I had to vent that. I wish Rebecca didn't have to go through this doctors just make me mad sometimes. Hope she gets better soon and you get some rest.
    Take care, Chrissie
