Hi I'm just looking for anyone to relate to. Our son is currently sick with a bad cough, low grade fever, and runny nose. His fever was high at first but has stayed low grade now. He's prone to fevers since he was a baby even with the sniffles. He hasn't perked up in days for longer than an hour or so. I miss him! Have you had drawn out illnesses like this? How did you get through? My heart sinks every time he has a coughing fit or when he's sleepy during the day. He tried to joke around a little this morning and was humming in the shower so we felt encouraged. Then his energy would dip and he'd start coughing. I don't know what's going around but it caught us by surprise.
I know I sound ridiculous. Most people endure sickness every other week. My son wasn't in daycare so he avoided that marathon sickness that families are faced with.
This is just the longest sickness so far and didn't know if any moms or dads could swap stories and any tips on how to control the anxiety. Thank you very much.
