K is sick today and I feel so helpless. I hate when the kids get sick. I hate feeling like there is nothing I can do to help or make them feel better. And then I feel bad because I get irritated with the whining. Hence the title of this post…HELPLESS…
He woke up this morning and I could tell that he was more congested that he had been. Then came the wheezing and by the end of the afternoon he was tired and unwilling to play. He won’t eat and has been whining constantly. None of the meds seem to be working, all of them are OTC since I can’t go get a prescription due to the fact that we have no insurance right now. So it’s been a struggle to keep myself calm and nurturing, especially with this one. We all know he is not the easiest of children to deal with. But we’ve made it through. Tonight would have been a picture perfect opportunity. As a last resort I started a hot shower so that I could sit with K in the steam. As we sat there on the floor, I dozed off. When I woked up the first thing that came to my mind was, what a great photo that would have made. (That camera is started to take over my mind! LOL) I almost called S to come and take the pic as I reenacted it…I know, that’s a bit overboard!
