Sickness happens often in my home. I have a 7 year old in 1st grade, and a 4 year old in preschool who loves to put his fingers in his mouth. My 7 year old daughter has not been as sick as my 4 year old boy. Times have been very tough with him every since he was a newborn.
He decided to arrive 3 weeks early, was a very good size baby at 7 lbs 13oz, however his little lungs were not ready yet. In the NICU he stayed and it was touch and go for awhile. He came home on my birthday (best present EVER) a very healthy baby thank the heavens. Every since he was about 6 months old he has developed high fevers. His fevers have been as high as 104.5, and ALWAYS happens in the middle of the night! Cue crazy panic mode for this mom, especially since my husband works the night shift, so I am all alone with my sick baby and his older sibling. He is almost 5 years old now and still gets the occasional 104 fever. It really helps talking to other parents and to feel assured that I am not alone in this!
As part of their Sick just got real.TM campaign, the pediatric brands of Pfizer Consumer Healthcare have released a video depicting a small glimpse of what moms may feel and experience when their child is under the weather. Please take a moment to check out this video, it really hit home for me! I have felt like this many, many times. Even though life can get crazy with sickness, I am so blessed to have my 2 amazing children. They make every day worth living. 🙂
In my crazy Sick just got real.™ times, I always have medicine on hand that I can depend on for my sick children. When #SickJustGotReal happens at your home, make sure you have some Pfizer Consumer Healthcare products to make your kiddos feel better!

There was one time my son vomited all over his bed…yuck!

My #sickjustgotreal moment was when my daughter vomited and pooped at the same time when meeting her great Aun and Uncle. It was a mess coming out of both ends.
My #sickjustgotreal moment was when my daughters fever went so high that she had a seizure.
My #sickjustgotreal has been many but I’d have to say when I have all 5 sick at the same time and being a single dad trying to care for all of them at once. It happened again not too long ago and I had to keep list of medicine time for each one.
The worst would be when my son puked all over his bed and the carpet. It’s hard to get that smell out.
Dealing with multiple strep throat patients while traveling! #sickjustgotreal
There has been many but one #sickjustgotreal moment was my grandson was not feeling well and on the way home and threw up in the car. It was not fun to clean.
My son threw up on the way to the doctor in the bowl I had brought along with us. I didn’t want to take the bowl into the doctor’s office so I just dumped it out in a bush there. #sickjustgotreal
I will never forget the time when everyone in my family was fitting over the two toilets. Rough was an understatement.
My #sickjustgotreal moment was when my son had a rash all over his body last week. He also had eczema that time, so it made him feel discomfort and painful!
My #sickjustgotreal moment is when the kids all got sick in the car while on vacation.
My #sickjustgotreal moment was when my son came down with a terrible rash and high fever after spending the day at a water park.
mine is when my daughter got sick in the middle of the night and i had to strip the bed and take care of her by myself
My #sickjustgotreal moment was recently when our little one caught a winter flu bug at school, and was running temps up to 104 for two days. The doctor just said to keep using Advil, which did help but as soon as the time was over…it went right back up. Thanks to Advil for helping to make him comfortable and bringing down his temp. Normally when he is sick he still wants to play, but not this time. He hardly got out of bed. So hard to see your little ones so sick.
My three boys have to share a room and they have a triple bunk. The oldest sleeps on top and one night he woke up just in time to throw up over the side, but it got on all three beds. It’s bad enough to deal with that stuff in the middle of the day, but in the middle of the night was a nightmare. I had to move all three of them into the living room at 2:30 in the morning so I could clean the mess and put their bedding in the wash. Over the next week, the sickness made its round through all five of us. It was like a puke apocalypse in our house. ((((shuddder)))) #sickjustgotreal
Definitely my #sickjustgotreal was when both of my children developed a flu virus overnight and we were in the middle of a power cut.
Ear infections owe
My #sickjustgotreal moment is those times when I woke up from sleeping to one of my children retching with the stomach bug.

My daughter threw up while trick or treating. Evening was ruined and had to apologize to the homeowner whose lawn got thrown up on.
My #sickjustgotreal moments is when my son and I both got sick at the same time.
Last Monday after working a 12 hour shift in the NICU, I came home. My husband then left to work night shift, 5 minutes later my son erupts into a geyser. Puke all over the place. #sickjustgotreal
