WIBU to keep daughter of school because I am ill

[Alwaysbekind2014]

For the first time in my life I have flu .... not a cold !
I have a fever of 39 since last night, my body aches including head and chest is awful. It came out of no where and has knocked me for six. My back and legs are so painful I have been in tears.
I am a single mum, full time carer of DD who unfortunately has complex heart defects, lung disease, intestinal failure and is immune compromised.
I feed her 3 hourly, do 14 hours of IV nutrition, plus meds etc
I couldn’t get any help or restbite so been plodding along the last 24 hours.
The likely hold of her catching it is high and I dread to think what It would do to her. She is on a part time hours at school currently .1.15 -3.10 there is not point in my going home in between by the time I get back it would leave v little time to then have to travel back to get her.
Normally I sit in the Starbucks at the end of the road / do emails / drink to much hot chocolate.
I can’t even imagine doing this tomorrow 😭😭

Thankyou for your kind messages .... I finally have some Medicine and better pain relief and my mum picked her up ( whilst she is off tpn ) so have to 6 to sleep it off hopefully will make a different for the night cares ahead poor thing will have to spend the day in mums work though 🙈

I was going to come on here and say, of course you still need to send your dc to school. I had awful flu once and I took my dc to school still...God knows how I did it..it was hell. At least once they were at school, I could crawl back home to bed.

However, after reading your post and hearing about your situation. Yanbu. Poor you...I hope you get better soon...what a lot you have on your plate...

I had flu last year that turned into pneumonia. I have honestly never felt worse in my life. Please remember to look after you OP, as well as your daughter. Really glad that your mum is there for your dd. Is there any way she could stay with you so that you can rest in between caring for your child? Flu isn't over quickly and you need some support.

How are you today? Hope you managed to get some rest and someone to have your dd.
