The part of motherhood I hate.most.

Hi Eileen, Remember that you have the authority over sickness in the mighty name of Jesus.

well, you gotta admire her hard work in school. but you're right, not considering persons health makes our immune system WEAK. that's how i get the Herpez Sortez which lasted a week. i guess love to your children can really you one heck of a scare. i do remember sleeping late during my thesis/feasibility study days.

hi eileenleyva I also hated that as you always felt so helpless when your kids were ill. and dengue fever does sound serious. I though mosquitoes were the carrier and their bite introduced it into t he victim's bloood stream? But I hope you did get her to the doctor for medical help. I know little about dengue but it sounds really bad. hope she gets well soon and you canhold out till help comes. take care of yourself too eileen.

And that is real motherhood in total. It is seen in full only in times of emergency like that. So caring, so loving, so dedicating.....that is motherhood. Kids are always kids and they don't know why the mother is so serious and sometimes furious when they are ill. But that strict care is necessary at that time.

Hi, I can understand your feeling. When my son was not feeling well, that is the most hate part of my motherhood. I will have sleepless night and full of worries.I also can't sleep well even though he feels better,only when he is fully recover ,then I will be able to get my sleep. That is why I always advise my son to drink plenty of water,be it, at school or at home. I also do boil barley water for him to drink twice a week.Eat more vegetables and fruits and avoid those junk foods. MUst remember to wash hands clean before eat. Dengue fever is very dangerous illness and it is killing. Get your daughter to hospital for medical assistance if her condition is not getting better. Hope she will recover soon and takecare!

Oh, now I am thinking of those over reactions I usually hear from my mum like your scenario. She zooms up so quickly like a missile but you know Madam? I'm so lucky to have a mum like my mum. When she said that if a child is only educated in school, is uneducated. That made me realize how great my mum really is.

What spreads dengue fever? I know we are entering into the time when people are worried about colds, and flu and asthma here. I do not have those problems. I perhaps catch a cold one time a year. I hope your daughter catches up on her rest and fights off whatever it is that is making her so tired and feverish.

I totally agree with you!! There is nothing more scary than the fact that your kid is sick and you don't really know how to help him.

Hi Eileen, Ok, I'm feeling really really dumb here but I have never even heard of Dengue Fever. I saw Hatley's comment saying it had to do with mosquitoes so I'm thinking that we refer to it by another name here. Anyway, I do know how you feel when the kids get sick. Last year it seemed that my daughter caught every virus that passed through. It was a nightmare. I hope that this year is healthier for her. Hope your daughter feels better soon. I agree with you on this being the part of motherhood that is the worst of all.

I haven't heard of that fever but I do hope your daughter feels better and back to herself in no time...I know how hard it is as a parent when your child is sick it takes alot out of you...

Hello, Eileen.:) I am a mother also and I can very well relate to that. I don't mind taking care of my kids 24/7 as long as they are healthy. I was in a situation before when my daughter was always hospitalized every other two months. The last one was the worst of all because her veins collapsed thus making it difficult for nurses to insert an IV. She needed the IV because she was already dehydrated from vomiting and lbm. This prompted me to give up my job... I can endure anything except worrying about my kids health and life. Right now, she has a cold and cough. I'm glad to symptoms of dengue or any serious illness.

Same thing here. It is very prostrating when your child was in trouble and you cannot do anything.

mam, i suggest you try buy the mosquito repellent patch. it consist of 24 patches per box. i just got 2 box today for my son. A lot of my friends kids got this dengue fever and use the tawa tawa plants, boiled and drink it as normal water, this really helps. Hope your daughter will get well soon.

Nothing i hate at motherhood... If you don't become fother/mother you can not understand them so i understand all their actions. It is for good they don't do anything for our bad. Just sometimes is more protective than i must...

Hope your daughter is feeling better. I always hated when my sons were sick, especially when they were too small to tell u what hurt etc. I still worry about them even tho they are grown & then of course i have the grands to worry about now to.

I am not yet a mother, although I understand where you're coming from, cause I am also protective of my younger brother, he's the baby of the family so we tend to worry a lot when it comes to him. hehehe. Don't worry too much, and if it is really dengue then it wouldn't have any problem specially when you caught it early. With prayers and of course lots of rest and medicine, I'm sure you're daughter would be fine. God Bless!

Hiya eileen, I feel like that when these here get very bad colds through too much staying out late drinking very cold things and eating that junk stuff they make out there. Still just the same like you I see them through and help them out even if it is 3 o´clock in the morning whatever. I hope your Daughter is much better now and that is was´nt the Dengue after all was it that? She might have been coming down with something else. Too much stress can bring on a Cold as well so I have been told.

Hi, It is because of this anxiety, this fear and weariness that motherhood is considered the most important role an woman can every play in her life. I remember a scene from the film The Passion of Christ. When Jesus was carrying the cross through the narrow lanes of the town, Mary was watching from behind the mass. She was crying, I wonder if there is any means that can measure the depth of sorrow she was having that time. Then Jesus stumbled and was about to fall on the ground with the heavy load of the cross. Mary came running and held him by her hands like she used to do when Jesus was a mere child. When Jesus in his childhood used to play, Mary kept vigil all the time though she might be doing some chores. If by any chance Jesus fell on the ground Mary came running after him to see if everything is okay. Motherhood is next to divinity. I have so much respect and feelings for you mothers. Thanks. God bless you

Well of course that thing also I've hated most. Dengue is really a hard foe and the hardest thing about dengue, the common victims are children. The Best thing we can do so as to avoid such dengue is to clean our surroundings thoroughly.

Helli eileenlevya Hope your child is much better now. Dengue is seasonal and come rains, fever is omnipresent. Keep the hydration level okay, nourish her frequently and she should be better in a couple of days
