Sick
Two sick fairies, in and out of bed, sunrise to sundown. Lemon thyme honey popsicles. Painting fireworks. A new client. A super long bath. While I don't like to see them feel this way, I love that added tenderness that sickness always seems to reveal.
Austin is sick too :( This morning I was having the same feelings about how tender everyone becomes when someone in the house is sick.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear that... I hope he feels better soon...
ReplyDeleteLemon thyme honey popsicles? Can you share how you make them please.
ReplyDeleteYes, my boy had a fever for 24 hrs yesterday and it was lovely that he lay still and wanted to be cuddled instead of the feral thing he usually is!
Oh Jenni, I am sorry to hear that... A fever is no fun... I simply make a strong herbal tea (with lemon thyme, about 1 tablespoon per cup of water and let it simmer for 10 min). I then add lots of lemon juice (maybe the juice of 2-3 lemons for 4 cups of tea and lots of honey (like half a cup), and freezy into popsicles. They make miracles for cough and sore throats.

HI, thanks for the popsicle recipe, sounds great, I will try it. My boy was over his fever in 24 hrs. Some belladonna homeopathy and lying in a darkened room being held by mum or dad worked wonders. I try to let the fever do its course as much as possible, making sure he was alert, drinking sips of water etc. The fever broke about 3 am and he bounced out of bed the next day. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSupport a child thoughout a fever and see them coming out of it is quite an amazing process. Your son is lucky to have a mom that trust that his immune system will do its job! I love using Belladona too in case of fevers. And I find it fascinating to see how big fevers change children, how they come out of it a little different, a little more incarnated.
