Why do kids ALWAYS get sick right before holidays? all of my kids were sick for their 1st birthdays...always have SNOTTY noses for christmas pictures, WHY????
Kennedi is sick, and when she gets sick it is scary. I am still afraid every time she gets sick that we are going to end up in the hospital again. and that she is going to have to come home on oxygen again. or worse yet we not catch it soon enough and she be low on oxygen and cause serious problems. Which makes me wonder how parents with REALLY sick kids handle it. She is sick and has some health problems and as her mom it is terrifing, but what the heck would i do if she had something worse, like cancer or something terminal? How is it that they wake up every day and just keep going? How do those parents of children with terminal sickness continue every day and stay positive....I don't know if I could do it. It makes me thankful for Kennedis health problems.
When we were with her at the Childrens hospital in Denver I kept thinking to myself that I was so lucky...and in the same second, I was guilty for taking up the doctors time because all that was wrong with my child was some everlasting breathing trouble, as where the majority of the parents and kids there were dealing with "how long can we keep my child alive" or "how can we improve the last few weeks we have with our child" My prayers and thoughts go out to all those familys that have horrible sickness in their family.
On a different note, I hate doctors, I refuse to pay them to tell me that my child is sick....I can give her breating treatments at home, I can tell when she is sick. Does it make me a bad mother because I don't take her to the doctor, even when she is sick....I would rather deal with it at home than sleep for a week in a uncomfortable bed while doctors and nurses do the same thing I do at home. also, I wonder sometime what other people do for thier sick kiddos....any home remedies...you know the "put vicks on their feet at night" type thing. I don't know if that one works or not but it is interesting! anyone have any other interesting home remedies???
