We’ve got a sick kid again. Xander has a nasty little “vomiting virus” as the doctor called it. They actually have several nurses out with it, so it is going around. The up side it that is usually clears up in about a day, so here is hoping.
Poor Xander is miserable. He can’t even keep his medicine down to try to keep his fever down. It’s only between 100° and 101° today, luckly. Yesterday afternoon it spiked to just under 104°, and he refused to take anything for it, because of how his stomach felt. He ended up in the bathtub in 92° water to try to being it down. We finally got him to take some liquid Tylenol and that and the bath got him back down to the low 100s for the night.
I really hope he’s better tomorrow. I know how miserable it is to feel this way.
I think this is one of the hardest parts of being a parent. The fact that we’ve done all we can for him and he is still miserable. It’s not a good feeling to not be able to make things better for your child.
