Our poor babies.
My youngest baby texted me from Missouri tonite saying that she was "under" the weather. The text went like this...
Me How are you feeling?
She not so good at all :(
Me Symptoms?
She cough tight lungs head ache and runny nose
Me Do you have any $
She A little...why
Me Ibuprofen for the headache, Neti Pot for the sinus, Delsym for the cough Lots of water and Lots of rest
I then prayed with her and she turned out the light.
Its not fun being sick. When my child would wake up and say he/she could not go to school I could pretty much know whether he/she were faking or not. When a child is sick they should be in bed . They need their rest. Be careful that you are not allowing them to have a "fun" time when they are at home.
Please don't take them out in public. No one needs the germs. Keep them quiet and hydrated. Make them as comfortable as you can. Bring them warm drinks and light snacks. Let them listen to something on tape or CD Read a book to them.
Consider a daily vitamin and vitamin C. Make sure they are eating well rounded meals and getting the fruit and vegetables that they need. ( and I don't meant the potato in potato chips) The health of our children is important and it is us who need to be aware of it.
Disinfect the house . Open the windows if you can. Spray Lysol. Wipe down areas where they were. Change their beds.( in the midst of their cold I would change their pillowcase everyday)
During these cold days our kids are cooped up in classrooms with a bunch of other kids and the stuff that flies around would make us cringe if we could see it with our naked eye!
OK Florence....be sure to take care of yourself as well
Blessings!
