You poor thing, you feel so hot. Mama’s here though. I will take good care of you. Tell me what feels bad. It is your tummy, your throat, or your head?
Let’s take your temperature, hold real still. 102.5, my oh my! It’s back to bed with you. There will be no school today. I’ll call the doctor and see what he has to say.
While we wait here is a cool compress for your head. I’ll sing to you while you go back to bed. Sleep now sweet child, you will feel better soon. The doctor can fit you in this afternoon.
When you wake I’ll make you some nice warm broth and a cup of tea to comfort you, mmm, good nourishing food.
It is time to go see the doctor now. Don’t be scared he is here to help you. No shots today, just a look and a test or two to see. I’ll hold you tight while we wait for the results. Time goes so slow when you don’t feel well.
The doctor comes back in a while with the results we have been waiting for. He writes a prescription and off we go to get the medicine that will make you well.
Now it’s home to rest a little more. Mama’s here my love. I will get you what you need to make you comfortable while you recover.
We will stay home one more day, but already you are looking better. You will still have medicine for a few more days, but your sickness will soon go away.
During the night your fever breaks and in the morning when you awake, your color is back and your smile. You are full of energy once more. It’s off to school with you today, time to see all of your friends and play.

Soothing words for a tough time. We went through an illness with both my kids 2 weeks ago. It is so draining. I am so thankful when it is all over and things get back to normal.
