Febuary 12, 2011

Well today my son was better from having the flu. I have been so worried since this was the first time he has ever had the flu. But surprisingly he was only sick for about 3 days. The first day he threw up a bit but mostly he just had fever and slept. I'm glad he takes after me on that aspect. I sleep when I'm sick as well. For me only having one child I'm still learning what all I should do when my son is sick. I saw that he was happy with just being able to lay on the couch with me and watch TV. Yes I spoiled him a lot lol but what else can you do when they're so pitiful. He ate jello, and crackers and drank sprite. It broke my heart not being able to let him have milk which is his favorite after coffee. Yes I know what they say about coffee stunting growth and I do not believe in old wives tales. His Doctor said it is fine with moderation. He refuses juice so at this point that helps for variety. Milk, tea and sprite get old after a while. It was hard for me to get a lot done though while he was sick. He's very clingy when he doesn't feel good as I'm sure alot of children are. now that he is back to normal though he's in to everything again lol. I started watching Julie & Julia and got to thinking, since I sometimes have a little extra time on my hands why not write a blog about me and my son. I'm sure there won't be that many followers but hey, it'll give me something to do. And maybe if someone does read this from time to time I will have a place to get questions answered, get advice of life troubles or just make a few more friends.

  1. lolololol SPRITE?<! If someone has an upset stomach, don't give any citrus based carbonated beverages. It only exacerbates the problem :) (you can chalk that advice up to my own personal experience, by the way, combined with research ;D) As tummy upset is directly related to the acidity in the stomach, the last thing an upset tummy wants is something acidic.

    Its good to finally hear from you again. Was worried when you didnt come back with an update on Jadon right away. Im glad he's better. :) Talk to you later girl.

  2. Sprite is what my family has always used. My doctor even suggests it. It makes my tummy feel better when I'm nauseated. Maybe just has to do with how you're raised or something because it works for us lol. That ended up being the only drink Jadon could keep down. Milk and tea sours on his tummy when he has a fever and he doesn't like juice.
