What do you do when you and your kids are sick?
My favorite Picture of my daughter...three and sick.
"They" say to give your kids extra cuddles, and lovin. Feed em their favorite foods, and have them drink lots of water. Yes, I have a link:

When my daughter was 8 months old, she was just crawling and I was sicker than a dog walking who is on his way out of this world. I was laying down and had the humidifier going strong. I had put Vicks in the holder and was hot, melted. When it happened. Rachel reached out and grabbed the Vicks with her bare hand. I was to far away to grab her little hand before she grabbed for it and just far enough to watch it in slow motion, yelling 'Noooooo'.
She cried, I cried! I called my moms, rushed her to the doctor where my doctor giggled a little and dressed Rachel's third degree burns gently. Oh the guilt that set !! If you are a mommy or daddy you know what I am talking about.
I think the emotions of a situation help you remember it. Praise Jesus she was fine. No scaring, and mommy learned to never put a humidifier down with a crawling baby.
Today we have two sick kids, sneezing, sour throats, little fevers. Reminds me of waking up to cleaning beds, catching puke with your hands, and lots and lots of cuddles. And for all the parents that came before us as they settled this great country we are lucky to live in.
Sick Children and Underfed ParentsDR A. G.ABBOTT'S STRONGCOMMENT
Ninety-five per cent, of the children on the Northcliffe group settlement require medical attention urgently, and their parents are too impoverished to aid them.People on the settlement do not get sufficient nourish- ment, and many of them will have to abandon their holdings in consequence and go on the dole. — Dr. A. G. Abbott, of Pemberton. 1933 Newspaper Artical
"...new common house burned to the ground on 14 January 1621 and the ship was the only shelter the colonists had.
Not long after the house burned, the "General Sickness" swept through the group, devastating colonists and crew alike. No one knows what this illness was, though it may have been pneumonia." http://www.millsgen.com/gen/hist/pilstor4.htm
