my house is full of bugs

Comment Published at 19:5719:5715 comments15 comments37 Visits37 VisitsReport

I have 3 sick kids.  today i wish there was more than one of me.

Lachlan has missed the last 2 days of kindy- his temp didn't get below 39 all day yesterday, even with panadol, with a chunky cough.  He spewed in his bed last night and ended up in bed with me.

Charlotte now has a bad cough as well, without the temp, but with her asthma these things always hit her hard.  she has also vomited a couple of times (once in my bed during a cough, and then all over nme when she was sitting in my lap....ick).

Now Imogen is hot and sounds like she has a sore throat- miserable and sitting on my lap as I type....waiting for the panadol to kick in.

Certainly back to reality after my night off at the pink concert.  I never really had a chance to recover.

Lucky the weather is nice so I can wash all the bed sheets.

Hope everyone is feeling better now,

Just been on the phone to my best friend in Perth WA, all her family have had either full blown Swine Flu or a variation of it. Nasty stuff

Re: my house is full of bugs

Well, they do say everything happens in 3's! Maybe this means it'll miss you? Let's hope so! There's only one thing worse than having to look after a house full of sick kids, and that's having to do it when you're sick as well!

Despite obviously being in a "just had enough!" situation - as do we all when we have a house full of sickies - you still found something to be grateful for in your last line. That's a rather special personality trait to have. I really hope you can keep hold of that throughout all the ups and downs and cuddles and vomits of life. LOL

Best wishes to you and yours that the kids recover quickly and no one else cops it.

And last of all, when your kids pee, poop and vomit on you, remember: when you're elderly and reaching nursing home material and your kids are looking after you, it isn't incontinence, it's revenge. LOL

Cheers, DA

Re: my house is full of bugs

you're a classic, DA.  I really missed your sense of humour when you were gone.

I'm all for things in 3s (except when its only been 2 and you're waiting for the 3rd).  I have a pretty strong immune system- all those years of kids at work coughing on me, so I rarely get sick, and when I do its mild (and after everyone else).

Everyone's improving. no more fevers and charlottes asthma has been kept under control.  Imogen still sounds a bit croupy and they all have a cough but in much better spirits and starting to sleep better. (and so am I- only up every 2 hours last night instead of several times per hour every hour like the night before) .

At least they had the decency to wait until after the Pink concert! LOL

Lachlan was sick before Pink- my mum dealt with it while I was out.  I have already bought her a box of chocolates!

Re: my house is full of bugs

 There seems to be alot more of those nasty bugs floating around this year, I sincerely hope your 3 little ones make a quick recovery & that these bugs  have a short life span.

Here's also hoping that you don't come down with them, sweetie....take care!

Hugs Janice xxxx

feel better soon

What a cute picture!

I always look after myself, you know that Janice!  This bug doesn't seem to be one of those short life span ones.  Today is day 6 for Lachlan.  Usually we get the 24 hour bugs, but this is lingering.

love Josie.

Re: my house is full of bugs

Mum told me last night that there has been a lot of croup around recently- I haven't been working much on the medical wards recently, and still on holidays, so I haven't been able to see whats going around this season.  Sucks that I'm on holidays and still looking after sick kids!

Oh Josie, those poor wee mites; lucky they have a super capable, caring mum to take care of them.  I hope the bugs are short lived and that you manage to maintain your health (and sanity) until the kids are well again.
