Yes, as a mother I can relate with you very well. It is important that you also take vitamins and nourish yourself at the same time, because eventually you will aslo be suffering from an illness because of lack of sleep, stress, and your immune system going down also. My daughter recently had a flu, and she was hit bad. I was really worried, couldn't sleep well, and was really tired from cleaning up after her vomiting and her uneasiness and her lack of sleep as well. Eventually, after one week I also had the flu. So, it's important that you supplement during these times. Take care. I know how it feels. And also don't forget to give her something so she wouldn't dehydrate.

I hope that your daughter is feeling better now. My daughter was sick over the weekend and I was worried about her as she seemed to feel okay but she had a feer. With staph infections all over the US , I am concerned that she might have come into contact with it, but she is better now and I am thankful for that!!

Am a mom too and I experienced sleepless nights when my daughter was attached with asthma when she was just a kid. I forget other obligations but just focus and be awake of my daughter's situation. Later, because of lack of sleep and rest I was admitted in the hospital too after my daughter had recoverd from asthma.

Awwww I hope she feels better. If not you should call your doctor. Maybe there is something he can order for her.

how old is she? if she's starting to have a teeth, then it's normal for a child to experience that..i know what you really feel because i'm also a mother and had experienced that kind of suffering..and now that she's already almost 3, she don't have that kind of illnesses just a simple sickness like fever, cough and colds..i know it's hard for us as a parent but what you need to to right now is to go the doctor for some advices..

I am so sorry to hear that. I can understand your feeling very well. Because I am also a parent. When my son feels ill, I feel so bad and I hope I could replace him to have sickness. I think giving more water to your daughter is always benefical for her. Besides, make sure she has enough sleeping and it will be helpful for her to recover. And make some easy digest foods for her. If she doesn't have the appetite, then it is OK for her not to eat anything at this moment. I still think it's better to take her to see a doctor because we are all not doctors. We just know some common treatment and in this case it seems it's better for a doctor to deal with it.

I am so sorry to hear that your daughter is not feeling right now. I can understand your feeling about this. It is the same to every parent. So far as your daughter's case is concerned, I think that it is better for you to take her to see your family doctor to make sure that she is better cured and gets recovered soon from defecating, vomiting and fever. The sooner, the better. May your daughter get well soon with your tender care.

When my son was younger he was so sick one time...I paniced and took him to the emergency room.. I didn't sleep for three days. I felt so bad for him, and was so scared too. Of course he got better, but it was really scary. He hasn't been that sick since, thank God!! He's ten now, and has had little colds, and a few belly aches, but nothing like that one time! I know how you feel! I will hope for her to get well real soon...hang in there momma!

I know how you feel izathewzia my son was born with a hole in his heart, eczema and reflux. This means that I was afraid his heart was going to give out, he had an annoying rash on every part of his body and he vomitted verything that when down his throat. Being a mum I, like you, could not sleep fearing the worst was going to happen. When my son was 6 months old he developed tonsilitus and began turning blue because they had swollen so big. We of cause got them out (when he was 6 years). He has had fits which were caused by a very high fever which we could not control (he had 20 in 1 day, in hospital) and thank goodness the last thing that has ever happened to my poor child is he split his head opened to the skull when he was 3. Through all this I had heaps of sleepless nights worrying. My son is now a healthy 13 year old with heaps of energy. The hole in his heart has closed up, his eczema is manageable and he hardly ever has a problem with his reflux. We as mothers go through more than fathers do I think. We worry more and loose alot more sleep. God love us!!! Hope you daughter gets better.

i was exactly in the same position as you are. although the condition of my child then was just pure fever. i find myself trembling, cold and tears flowing freely down my cheeks as i text messaged my parents for i was really crumbling at the hospital. that was my first time to have a hospitalized child and i don't think i've been as sick as my child that is why i'm scared. i don't know what my 1 year old then was feeling.

Yes, What hurts the ones we love,hurts us. To our children even more so. Remember that the sickness will pass, but your love won't. Hang in there.
