Congratulations Amy — you’re a mom! Every first-time mother goes through this exact same thing. As much as you know today, you still have new things to learn. Never trash yourself for not already knowing these things. You learn, you grow, and you get better with every passing day. Believe it!

Oh Amy, my dear, I remember those days. Our middle guy was always quiet, so it was difficult to gauge how he was feeling. I remember one time he was extra quiet. Took him to the doctor, who promptly admitted him to hospital, and tented him for pneumonia. Talk about Mom Guilt! Thankfully, the hospital allowed me to stay with him. When his pediatrician came in he also sent ME for chest x-rays, then put him and me in a room together while we both recovered from pneumonia. Sending lots of love your way. ~ Donna Isnor @CocoChanelsAdventures

Hi Amy,
Our children are sent to test us I’m sure? One moment bouncing around full of joy and happiness the next quite the opposite which presses our buttons for allowing our little one to be poorly and we failed to see it coming.
You have shown us just what a loving super mum you are but a little too sensitive at times when it comes to blaming yourself for all of Lennox’s ills, he will keep “testing” you even to his teens and beyond. Accept the fact that as long as you are there for him and it not being in any way your fault you become an even better super mum than you are.
Hope your all well and “L” is over his Flu, which is a year round illness depending on the strain FYI,
Thinking of you guys.

Oh how scary for you. I would have felt the same way. I do that all the time. I put so much pressure on myself to know exactly how Nash is and constantly worrying if his cough, sniffle means anything. And then when he gets real sick, I’m a mess, I literally can’t function until he is better. Why do they have to get sick? It’s so stressful. And it’s all because we love them sooooooo so much it hurts. I’m so glad Lennox is feeling better now. You are a wonderful Mummy! Love Amber xx

Amy,
As a child I used to get ear infections all the time. They really hurt, and I can remeber the “popping” sounds in the ear. My mom had me on antibotica and had me put my ear on a hot water bottle. I even had one on vacation. Your doing just fine.

Hi Amy,

You shouldn’t feel any mom guilt for a sick little one. Kids are resilient, they bounce back quickly, and they can be very tricky to gauge.

My only advice for you is this, trust your instincts, you are a mom with super powers. You will always know what’s right for your child. Oh, and one more thing, give yourself a break, you are a wonderful mom who only gets better with every passing day!

Take care,

Ben

You are a WONDERFUL mom and Lennox is lucky to have you! As a mom, I can tell you I have been in the same boat. It’s part of life. Being a good mom is hard work because we NEVER want a sick child ! I so enjoy following you and hearing your daily activities! I love seeing HAPPY families! You get out of life what you put into it ! Keep up the GREAT work !

Amy, we are going through something similar although we suspect it could be more serious. We about to go to the ER.

Glad Lennox is okay.

Continuous feeling of mom fail on this side of the pond.

Thanks for sharing
