Ever time I see my cousin's son Theo he's fighting an upper respiratory illness. Kids share germs like we share blog comments!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I can definitely imagine how frightened you were picking N off the floor like that. But, an active boy will have many more bumps and scrapes for you to deal with.<BR/><BR/>I remember the first time I had a post-flu nosebleed, I didn't know it was a vessel, I actually thought I was bleeding from my brain or something!<BR/><BR/>You said something about flu in Bahrain. I thought that the virus is best transmitted in cold dry conditions, which is why it's common in winter, not summer. So when you say it's cool over there, are you talking 70 degrees ??? :POliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04014351759393921274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-19504009890309601492007-11-15T15:51:00.000+03:002007-11-15T15:51:00.000+03:00I'm not a mother (although I wish I am), but my mo...I'm not a mother (although I wish I am), but my mother never failed to mention how I was always always sick as a child and hardly ever ate. She used to sit there feeding me and get overly excited when I actually swallowed the food, only to throw it up ALL at the end... Ah, and various other issues. I totally agree with gazza... and I also feel your pain of not having an older experienced person to go to for advice. <BR/>You're a good mother, at least thats what I get from reading your entries. As much as this sound like a total cliche, your unconditional love and warmth will get him through this. I believe that's how powerful a mother's love is. <BR/>He's such a cute kid, and I'll pray for him every chance I get. He'll be ok, I promise. Until then, hang in there... xxxPearl Moralehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045589365446510449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-11560761203365975462007-11-14T12:06:00.000+03:002007-11-14T12:06:00.000+03:00UmmNaief - chin up - it's tough when we live away ...UmmNaief - chin up - it's tough when we live away from our family! What's worse is that little things are magnified when we're without that 'support'. The 'support' we do have are...like you said, they have totally different beliefs. <BR/><BR/>We used to have the same problem with our kids - except it was with visiting family without them warning us someone was sick in the house. It seems to be normal to bring really really sick kids to family gatherings and think nothing of it. I drew the last straw when someone brought their child with a temp of 103 and they were vomiting non-stop. I think it was selfish and the poor kid was miserable. Now, (although it may sound rude) I make it a point to ask if everyone is ok. It's just not fair for our kids to be chronically ill because of irresponsible choices of other parents. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck to you. By the way - cute blog! :)<BR/><BR/>L_OmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-78062794325148214782007-11-14T09:54:00.000+03:002007-11-14T09:54:00.000+03:00gazza, you're right.. the drs don't make you feel ...<B>gazza</B>, you're right.. the drs don't make you feel good about anything really. they have me all worried that it's allergies, but i looked it up on the net and i know he's not suffering from allergies. but all the meds they gave me are for allergies... but i guess better safe than sorry. it's just all very stressful.... and i agree.. you do reap what you sow!<BR/><BR/><B>wendy</B>, you know, the sad thing about being here is that i don't have an older woman i can rely on to help me. all the women i know are first time mothers, like me. my MIL.. well, she believes a lot differently than i do w/ many things, so it's difficult. and as far as hashim being supportive, he is as much as he can be. at night he helps me and on the weekends, but i still find it stressful right now. i just really want naief to get well.... it's terrible. i can only imagine what you dealt w/ when your child was small. it's terrible when they're sick like this. i feel anxious because i'm so sad that he's sick and there's nothing i can do but wait it out. thank you for your advice ... i always appreciate it.Um Naiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03079700156633283396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-5146608266274475902007-11-14T08:19:00.000+03:002007-11-14T08:19:00.000+03:00Golly gosh, you are having a tough time.

One of my kids used to have bronchial troubles sometimes and I sweated it out through the crisises! <BR/>Take it easy if you can and lean on the shoulder of a friend, preferably some older woman who's been there, done that, raised babies. And your husband of course is being supportive I'm sure.<BR/>w.Peceli and Wendy's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01165668047817341837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22668996.post-69166367695236276142007-11-14T05:57:00.000+03:002007-11-14T05:57:00.000+03:00The early years are so hard and doctors always mak...The early years are so hard and doctors always make you feel bad with the "is this your first child" it all gets better in time,but gets more expensive.........but worth it......you reap what you sow.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
