When the going gets tough

 

Today, I feel like I am in a battlefield of life once again.  Life is testing me.  I felt so weak especially at times like this.  It is the 1st quarter of the year and I as a mother is being tested.  My rationale in life is so dark its so hard to pull through.I have to fight this and I have to be tough because there is a little one depending on me.

This predicament started Wednesday January 30th, 2018 after school we did some errands and buy our food.  That evening I can sense that she has itchy throat.  Thursday morning I told her don't go to school because she is a bit warm, later that afternoon her temp shoot up to 39 and now started coughing.  Thankfully its not an asthma attack but we put her on nebulizer to loosen the secretion that evening she sneezed a lot and the mucus came out. But the fever came on and off.  The next day Friday her fever is gone and she requested to play with her friends.  I supervised her because I don't want her to get tired.  They just played drawing and writing.  Evening came and she doesn't have the appetite anymore and is now complaining of tummy ache.  And the fever comes back.  Geez.  These made me break down.  Because I am scared of that stomach ache.  And she too is scared about it.  We still remember that due to that tummy ache she spent 5 days at the hospital due to severe vomiting.

I offered her small frequent meal.and sips of water.  I don't want to be too pushy on her because she is not feeling well and I might aggravate the situation.  Tomorrow if this will persist we will visit her doctor.

I am hoping that this is just viral. The weather may be adding a bit.  It's too cold outside especially at night time.

I hope this fever and cough and tummy ache will leave her alone.
