It literally feels like your heart is tearing into pieces when your child is sick. Chloe’s been having a high fever for about three days now. On Wednesday night it was as high as 103.6ºC. I’m doing everything I can to lower the fever by giving her sponge baths, giving her Motrin every 4 hours, applying wet towels on her forehead in between… is there anything else??
My little active girl is now so quiet and mallow… all she wants to do is to be held by me and rest her head on my shoulder. She’s also refusing to eat which makes it harder.
I feel so helpless and beyond exhausted… It broke my heart to pieces to leave her home and go to work today. She didn’t want me to go. It was her saddest cry of all.
