We don't really have anything out of the ordinary that we do when we are sick. It's mostly just survival mode until everyone is better. So, for this list I will list the basics of how we handle sickness in our family.
- Emergen-C~ at the first sign of a cold we start pumping the vitamin C.
- Set up a bed or a couch in the living room for daytime care.
- Lots of books and movies
- A bowl (if needed)
- Search internet for advice, or diagnosis
- Thermometer
- Pain medication
- Nyquil
- Tums
- Tissues
- Liquids
- Crackers
- Hot or cold packs depending on what is needed
- Lots of laundry (if flu-like illness)
- Disinfecting everyting
- Dr. visit if absolutely necessary
- Chicken noodle soup
- Puzzle books or puzzles
- Lots and lots of prayers
- Sleep, sleep, sleep
I think that is about all that comes to mind as I think about what we've done during sickness in our house. It's definitely a time of being still, resting, and relaxing. A good time to reflect, and appreciate the healthiness of life.
OH yes! Lots and lots of laundry.. I swear I wash any and everything that can fit in the washing machine.
