Your Child Being Sick

by

Having a sick child can cause the environment in your home to change. It makes you more attune to the germs that are spread, the way your child is feeling and the overall mood of the home.
My daughter was coughing a great deal these past few days. She had a sinus infection. She gets them all the time. Usually the doctor prescribes an ant biotitic for ten days and leaves it at that. This time we wanted to find the underlying cause of it. The doctor gave us ant biotitic for twenty days. After that period of time, my daughter is going to get an x-ray done of her anodes. I hope to god we can solve why she gets sick all the time.
Additionally, she is allergic to soy. Do you know how many products on the market today contain soy? Literally millions! It’s hard to construct a suitable diet for her. The side benefit is that she eats healthier. Despite that kind of diet costing more because you have to buy “organic” food, it is worth it to have a healthy child.
My daughter’s is health is my primary concern. It kills me to listen to her cough and having to blow her nose fifty times within a few hour period. Nevertheless, I will do everything in this Father’s power to ensure she gets well.
I know there are far more sick children out there than my little girl is. Children with cancer or another illness, and it breaks my heart to see it. I have donated to a local children’s hospital because my empathy extends beyond my household. I can only imagine what other parent’s are going through. Sometimes it can be a cruel world out there. Sometimes one might think of why their, or any other, child must suffer. I do not have a general response. Theological implications would warrant a look, but that is not for me to write about. All I want is my daughter, and everyone else’s child to get better.
