When children and animals become sick, you feel so helpless, and upset, and scared.
When adults are starting to feel ill; (most of the time) they get slowly sick and maybe most important, they can communicate. Yesterday Olivia started to look "not feeling" so well. I felt her forehead and it was "ok" then one hour later...boom...high fever, and she looked so helpless.
You become scared, you know the decision is in your hands and time is ticking--will you make the right decision with what kind of help to give her? You call the advice nurse, you take notes of when you gave her Tylenol and checked her temperature--that didn't go down even a couple of hours later--
For the first time we had to take her to the ER to get help, the fever didn't go down, and the zombie look on Olivia was heartbreaking. We got great help and fast, and could return home after one hour.
Our little girl is sleeping with a more peaceful face now, and my heart have stopped feeling helpless. I am so thankful.
Amazing with children and animals. When they get the right treatment they heal so quickly, thank God.
A lot of thoughts went out last night when I was laying awake watching Olivia sleeping and breathing. Parents that are watching over their children that are so sick, and no one knows the outcome, and these little "soldiers" are so brave and are the ones comforting their parents.
Amore!
