Ugh -- I've got Bronchitis

[Ratatosk]

I NEVER get sick. Last Wednesday I felt chilled at work. That's it. Just cold, but half the time our furnace doesn't work, so figured it was that. Went home and had a fever of 101. Next day my chest felt a little tight... Ended up going to the doctor who thinks I might have bronchitis. Wouldn't you know, couldn't cough to save my life while in his office. Put me on a z-pack. Fever finally broke last night.

So I sound like an 80 year old man with a smokers hack. I've been so worried I'm going to give it to DS. I'm washing my hands constantly, coughing into my shirt, into my arm, kept my distance and wash my hands before touching anything of his, disinfecting, washed our bedding 'cuz he likes to hang out in our room -- kept my pillows away from him... 'Course being a toddler he's a touchy feely kinda guy. I woke up from my coma naps a few times with him sitting on my head. Where dad is, I haven't gotta clue. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Whatever the heck I caught was pretty yucky and I just hope that he doesn't get it. Grrr!

If it makes you feel better...I have had 2 flus and a minor respiratory thing and Ben didn't get either. I just stayed away, washed my hands as much as possible and didn't sleep with him while I had it (he still sleeps in our bed, well, my bed, DH can't fit anymore;-) I gave him extra C as well.

It is so scary when you are hurting and hacking and sooo badly do not want them to go through it. Sets the mind a spinnin' Try to hold positive thoughts about his ability to stay healthy. I think this helps if we believe in their ability to be healthy.

Hang in there...I hope you feel better. Epson salt baths, along with good old fashion vicks, lots of hot lemon water, and sleeping upright (if you can sleep at all) are my favs when hacking my brains out.

Warmly,

I think cfers in general have better immune systems than normies. In my family I was always the last one to get sick or sometimes not at all. Lets pray this is the way it is for Liza's son.

Hopefully this is the case. He WAS the only child in his preschool class who didn't get that nasty stomach bug that was going around last month.

I scared the heck out of the poor kid last night when I turned around and caught him almost drinking out of my milk glass last night at the dinner tabe and I yelled NO!

Hopefully, you're feeling better and your son will not get sick. But , if he does get sick at least you know what he caught and to jump right on it. My son(no CF) is getting over strep throat and my daughter with CF has not caught it, knock on wood and everything else. The same day he got sick with strep they were lying in my bed together, reading books being good kids. The minute my son started to feel under the weather, he told Maggie to stay away from him cause he didn't want to get her sick. I know in our neighborhood, there is strep going around, a horrible stomach virus(puking, pooping ,fever) and RSV going around. we carry purell around wherever we go and cross our fingers.
