Sleepless

When your child gets sick, it doesn't matter whether he is two or 20 you still get all antsy. My eldest daughter E is now camped out in my room. Last night, I hardly got any sleep. Not only was E running a fever, she was also experiencing chills. I dumped blanket after blanket on her, and still she was shivering like crazy. Finally, I just grabbed her in my arms and gave her a big warm embrace. I'd like to think that worked.

Today, we are almost out of blankets, I am almost out of shirts, and my room does not smell nice at all but E is better. That's all that matters.

I just hope that tonight I could get some sleep :)

  1. Whenever I'm sick, I always want my mom to be at home too. A couple months ago, both Matthew and I got sick! He had a fever, I had the flu. We camped out in my parents' room, and my mom barely slept because she was taking care of her apo :)

  4. KV, ganun yata talaga. "Mommy" is my daughter's favorite word these days :)

    Rach, aren't you going home yet? O, mali ba ang pag-interpret ko ng mga status mo? Mwahahaha

    Michelle, hirap talaga kapag ang kids ang maysakit. And buti nalang, I hardly get sick myself; knock on wood.
