My DD has been coughing for the last few days, lots of snot and sneezing and wailing with discomfort overnight and this morning. The last two days she has seemed fine at school pick up but could see she was getting worse in the evenings. DH leaves this morning and within 10 minutes she is jumping around, full of beans. It's always been this way really, maybe once or twice where it's been a camp out in bed affair. Even with awful chicken pox and separate major bump to the head in the past, she was pretty much on it constantly then would burn out later in the day.
I'm sick myself and said, we're off sick so we'll just stay sat on the sofa or in bed. All morning was just mania, pulling out toys and emptying the boxes on the floor to play. Really, I had no energy to enforce anything. It got to noon and DD just crashed for nearly 3 hours laid on me quietly and had no energy whatsoever. After that, the mania started up again and got to dinner time with DD not eating dinner and just not listening to anything, pure hysteria.
Does this happen with anyone else's children being ill but just mostly hysterical? Or is she completely having us on?
