is when your child ….
* has high fever
* refuses to take her medicine
* vomits out the medicine after taking them
* has no appetite to eat
I feel so helpless seeing her cough non-stop, seeing her so tired and listless. Wish I am the one who is sick and not her. Her teacher called last night to check on her. I told her that Ashley won’t be going to school this week and I can imagine the homework piling up 🙁 Her teacher also asked me if I can collect her homework since there are quite a number of books. I told her that she would not be able to do them even if I were to collect the books. Will just have to wait till next week. *sigh*
Oh….we are just recovering….so I can feel for you. Hope Ashley gets well soon too!
Oh poor Ashley… guess you have to spend more time and effort with her now… Speedy recovery to her! Take care!!
I gave my kids Fitline Superkid and they are as fit as a fiddle.
Poor thing, I hope she will be fine soon. And the homework, worry about that later.
Hope Ashley get well soon! The teacher huh…child sick already still putting pressure on the mother and child about homework..should let the child rest and not worry about homework piling up..
I can feel for you Barb, when my kids are sick I also feel very helpless and very down. Hope Ashley gets well soon.
Try the steam orange. It may work. No harm.
Hope Ash is recovering fast…
can you skip the homework ? I can’t imagine the homework piling up next wk. I don’t want her to be overly stressed when she goes back next wk. Prolonged cough will make her very tired and she needs the rest too.
Take care…
Hope she feels better soon. I don’t understand the teachers these days. She’s only in kindy, what’s the big deal with the homework? *shrugs*
Hope Ashley recover soon. Homework?, never mind lah, that can wait!
Oh dear, poor Ashley….
Put homework aside and allow her with enough rest. Wish Ashley a speedy recovery!
Sigh… same here, Barb. Chloe is sick too and has all the same signs as Ashley but luckily she still takes her medicines. My nightmare is, her fever keeps coming back! 🙁
I hope ashley will get well soon. Me and the 2 kids just recovered last 2 weeks. I know how u feel… Take care of yourself! Homework can wait, don’t give her and yourself too much pressure yeah? will keep u in my prayer.
That is what I always think of too when my kids were sick.. seeing them sick break our hearts..
Wish speedy recovery on Ashley…
Really it’s a nightmare for mother……
Get well soon ya..
I’m so sorry to hear this, Barb. Get well soon Ashley.
oh dear… so sorry to hear what you and Ashley are going through… when my kids were at that stage (refusing medcine and food), i used suppository to bring the fever down. can see the effect almost immediatly (which was scary; kids’ skin became cold & clammy), but no choice.
if she doesn’t want to eat, try giving her drinks, yogurt or ice-cream. hope she gets well soon, you take care too.
Ooohhh…poor Ashley! Hope she will recover soon. Even Braedyn is on and off sick because of fever flu and real bad cough…sigh! *hugs* You take care ya, Barb!
poor princess, hope she recovers asap! i also been sick for 3 weeks already, right after cny. sien sien sien! one after another, damn! take care Barb
oh dear! sorry to hear about that barb!
I hope she gets well soon!! Speedy recovery to the lil missy!
*hugs* hang in there Barb.
I’m sorry for Ashley, it seems quite a lot of children falling sick these days! Keep well and take care!
Hope she gets well real soon. Don’t need to bother about homework now, of course priority is to rest and get well. If fever is very high, 39+ deg C, we used suppository. Sponge her with warm water often, the evaporation cools the body down.
Fever is a good sign that the body is fighting the infection. Have lots of rest and drink more fluids. It’s ok not to eat for a few days. Plain water has no nutrients, so offer juice, soup, isotonic drink (e.g. 100 Plus). I learnt all these when my toddler had very high fever leading to febrile fits recently.
Take care and all the best!
Barb, since Ashley having fever n cough badly. U can consider to let her admit hosp coz they give her nebulizer, dripping, med & mayb jab then she can recover faster. Last yr my both girls having this problem due to 1 type of virus tat both paede said is my eldest dd get it fr the kindy, I let them admitted and they recovered in a wk. Earlier they are sick for more than a wk too b4 admitted.
Feel better soon – Ashley!
Get well soon Ashley! The teacher is so thoughtful to call and ask abt her. Difficult to get such attention once the child is in Primary school 🙁
Thanks for your comment 🙂 Many other mummies said the same thing too… not caused by the food. At least I don’t feel so bad now. You know what, when I first found out that Chloe had fever, I immediately thought of Ashley too. Hope our girls will bounce back to health soon. Take care!
hope ashley gets well soon…u too tc yeah Barb…
All mommies have gone thru this. You will weather the storm. Wish your girl speedy recovery.
