Proud of myself.....

[court]

I know I don't post much,but I do come here often.But I am very proud of myself,and wanted to share it with you all.


My daughter got sick,and I wasn't that scared.I managed very well! I am not sure it will happen that way again,but it felt so good to be able to care for her without shaking all over and wanting to run away!

Congratulations Court! =] You did well. I dont have any kids but I would not be able to do that if it was like my sister or something So good job!

Well done! I wish I could be brave when my children are ill. I hope one day I will be able to stay calm and not panic.

I was also proud of myself last time my son was ill. He's 7 & I could hear him shuffling about in bed so I went up & he said he felt a bit s*.. so as calmly as possI told him to go the loo to see if it was just a poop he needed. I headed for the downstairs loo for the bucket & gave it to him without freaking out. When he did *it* I held my breath & passed him a drink of water & stroked his back, made sure he was ok & sent him back to bed (with the bucket)


That was an achievement for me & made me feel a little better when I didn't catch anything from him. I'm still very very scared when I see him looking under the weather but I talk myself round & tell myself 'everyone goes through this' & 'that theres people who are nursing sicker people than me'


Maybe one day hopefullyi'll be able to comfort him properly & give him love & affection when he's ill.. It would be great to overcome this damn emet!! [img]smileys/smilies_07.gif[/img]

Well done for doing that. I always panic and dont want to hear or see anything. But, what can we do when we have kids. I dont want to pass on this phobia to them. At the moment they dont seem to have this fear. My sister has it worse than me, she has not v*since she was six, she is now 40!!!!

That is my thing,I don't want my kids to have this fear.I don't want them to know that inside I am shaking and can't breath,and never want them to know I would like to run from it.

My little one knows about it & says to me 'I know you don't like it Mum, don't look if you don't want to' He's so sweet about it & apologises for being ill bless him.. I often make a joke about it & pull my jumper over my mouth & chin & make a funny voice & that makes him laugh! Well they say humour is the best medicine lol

Wow congrats you guys. I don't think I would be able to do that! I mean I know that when my sister was sick growing up I couldn't even be on the same floor of the house as her. Because I stayed away from her I never caught a sv from her, but kids, I mean your OWN kids, aren't that easy to avoid.

Having children has actually helped me in my fight against emet.My youngest daughter isan absolute champ when it comes to v* and her courage really helps me when I'm not feeling so well. It amazes me that a child, especially one of my children can be so fearless when it comes to v*. It really helps me to put my fear back into perspective.

That is such an accomplishment, well done! I am so scared about having children so I think thats amazing you could go through childbirth and outstanding that you were able to cope with all that! Such a big triumph well done!
