Sick, Just Plane Sick!

If you ask anybody, most people would say that they absolutely hate being sick. The feeling of being miserable from: body aches to a stuffy/runny nose coughing, sneezing, wheezing, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc.
But, your own feeling of misery is quickly magnified when you see your child in that kind of anguish. It’s hard to describe the feeling of utter guilt that surges through a parents body when they see their child sick. Most of the time, the germs the adult has brought into the home, causes one or both parents to become sick, then it swiftly shifts over to the child.
When children get sick, they usually become really cranky, clingy, and hard to please. Then there’s those times when they’re so ill that their little chests get congested with phlem and when they cry (trying to complain, non-verbally) they end up gagging and then vomiting all the food they’ve recently had. It’s really a sad site.
Not only is it a nasty, stinky mess that a parent must deal with, but a very painful process to watch, when your child is in pain. That nurturing soul inside of every person, just jumps out to try and help a child in distress.
It’s important for every person to value their good health, because once they become ill, they wish it would soon be over, but once it is, they’re so caught up in their own lives, they don’t realize how much the illness was a blessing in disguise.
