How to care for kids when you are sick

It has been a rough week. I am down with a chest infection, a fever, an open tap for a running nose and very bad asthma. This always happens. I can never be sick because my asthma just goes crazy. It takes on a life of its own. *sigh*

But, here I am. With aching bones and a painful head. I’ve been in bed all day for the last 2 days and bless T2, she is wondering what’s happened to her Mommy? Why is Mommy always in bed suddenly now? Why is Mommy not reading to me? Why is Mommy not feeding me? Why is Mommy shouting at me? Why is Mommy always asking me to SLEEP?

She compensates by kissing me profusely. She thinks that by kissing me, I will love her back and give her the boob. But it’s not that at all. I am just spent. I cannot move. And because I cannot move, I cannot even give her the boob. And when she’s on it too long, I start getting irritable.

My darling T1 has been just that. Staying in control of things. Making sure T2 is safe from harm, helping herself to water and food. Doing everything herself independently because she knows Mommy is out of action. She even massages my head, and that really helps. T2 has followed suit except her tiny fingers don’t do much. But it is the thought that counts, eh?

I usually spend my days feeding T2 because she is such a fussy eater that I literally spend ALL DAY feeding her. But these last 2 days? It’s been a case of here’s food, take it or leave it. And guess what? She’s chosen to leave it. Thus she has gone to bed this evening without drinking any milk all day short of her morning dose of 100ml and all she’s eaten is a slice of white bread. You tell me? Would this stress you out? It totally stresses me out.

Let’s hope the weekend brings on more sunshine.
