You are definitely not alone!! I have 3 kids, and no one to help me usually, when they get sick. And I completely freak out! Itis soooooo hard for me to help them. I get so scared im going to catch whatever it is. But with ALOT of praying, I always get thru it and never rarely get sick, and when i do get it..i never V* (knock on wood)! just try to stay calm, as difficult as it may be. and its actually a good thing to let him stay in his room for awhile, so he can get the rest he needs & wont spread it around (if its contagious)
