how do you keep up with uni work and a sick child?

[anothermansmother]

my Ds is 2 and i think he has chicken pox, he appears to have spots on his face but nowhere else he was one of two left in his class who hadnt got it! i have loads of work to do and some of that is for my dissertation! i know he may have to be off for upto 2 weeks...thats how long my spots kept coming out for!
how do you keep up, i would normally do work when he is asleep, but that seems to be in burst of 5 minutes! ARGH!!!

Poor DS. Bumping for you.

now short fix sorry, my dd was ill last year for a month with a tummy bug and i ended up working flat out once she was better. (although that was my year 1 so didnt seem as important as your dissertation must).
i do hope he gets over it quickly for you. if it helps my ds only had about 5 spots with his chicken pox so was over it in a few days. hope yours is the same
