I have had sick kids. Lulu, my 13 month old, has been breaking in 6 teeth. She's had a fever, been cranky and of course the runny nose. She finally started to get over it when the first 2 teeth broke through. That was the cue for BG to get sick. He got a fever and strep throat. The antibiotics he was on made his gums swollen and start to bleed. It was a miserable few days. Poor little guy cried every time he chewed, swallowed, flossed or brushed teeth. We ended up taking him to a dentist, who not only didn't help, but also gave him a fright. Uff. On day 2 of BG's fever, Jman ended up getting a fever and vomited. He was out of sorts for about 2 days and then recovered back to his old self. BG is on the mend. His gums have finally stopped bleeding. He got prescribed a "magic mouthwash" to help with the pain and inflammation. It has helped immensely.
In these type of days, I lean on God for strength, endurance and perseverance. It is hard to have patience when I'm tired. All the more reason to turn to Him!
Blessings,
Amanda
