To be having a little cry?

[sleepdeprived17]

Not an AIBU but posting for traffic. Both me and DD 18 months are unwell and I am struggling to cope today. She's asthmatic and on her 7 course of antibiotics in 6 months, paired with fungal nappy rash. I'm having an IBS flare up and waiting on blood results as they think I may have an autoimmune diesese.

Someone tell me.it's gonna be okay please. Or at least how to get through the day until DP arrives home

19 months *
It's gonna be*

Struggling to see through the tears and snot haha

Aw OP it's horrible when you're ill but you will get through it, get everything you need for the day, a big of juice and some snacks etc, CBeebies on the Tele and just don't do anything you don't absolutely have to do. Lots of cuddles, some pain killers and a hot water bottle and I hope you feel better soon.

You poor things, I'd be crying my eyes out!

You get through the day by doing only what you absolutely NEED to do. So that is feeding and watering you both, and nappies and baths/showers.

I hope so much you've got food in the house. Make good use of electronic babysitters, so that you can rest as much as you can.

I know it doesn't feel like it, but this isn't forever. This too shall pass.

I’m sorry you’re feeling rubbish. I’ve been there. I was so so ill once and my husband was at work all day, my DS was 16 months then, and he to was ill. I could have cried, I just felt so ill, tired and lonely. When he eventually came in, I remember crawling up the stairs to bed at around 4pm, the sense of relief was immense.

You will be ok.

Peppa pig and toast have been deployed although DD is off her food. Had about 6 hours sleep in two nights but somehow madam is marching round the living room singing the bing bong song. I bloody hate that pig

Thanks for your kind words, I've rang my mum whos said she'll come round but shes rather flakey so i'm not holding my breath.

Anyone have any advice on how yo deal with the nappy rash? Doctor has prescibed coltrimozole but the poor thing is agony, one of the blisters popped in the night and she spent about an hour screaming

I found with nappy rash, that having as much bare bum time as possible helped like nothing else.

Also, Mustela nappy rash cream.

Yes, definitely as much nappy free time as possible. And trying to keep the area as dry as possible.

You poor thing. Films on the sofa all day. Wishing you both a speedy recovery.

God. Nightmare. Do you have hard floors or carpets? The best thing is bare bum time but perhaps you can't cope with that today.

Do you have any soothing bath stuff? You could pop her in a warm steamy bath with a few toys. If not can you order some? The aveeno stuff is meant to be good. Or even an oatmeal bath like people do for chicken pox. Then let it air dry and add the cream the doctor gave.

Delivery pizza and dessert at lunchtime if it won't make your IBS worse and nap when your DD naps.

You can do this. It sucks, but you can do it.

Don't worry about getting through the day. Get through the next hour. Then you can think about what to do the hour after that.

If an hour's too long, try getting through the next 10 minutes.

I somehow managed to survive the day. Thank you all for ypur advice. Dd has been oat bathed and spent the afternoon running round nappy free which she loved haha.

Ive spent the last 4 hours fast asleep on the couch in preparation for another sleepless night. Wish me luck!

Hugs @sleepdeprived17 we have had a very rough week to xx
