Don't feel bad though, you didn't know she had a bug, and I'm sure your friend will understand. Hopefully as her immune system strengthens, it won't be a big issue anymore. I agree with @Weagle, maybe try getting together with friends outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-so-isolated#post-1007575 Sun, 11 Aug 2013 06:04:28 +0000 Cherrybee 1007575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any advice because we are not there yet but I wanted to pop in and send big hugs. You must feel like a prisoner. I've heard that, as they catch more and more bugs, their immune system gets stronger so it won't be like this forever... I imagine that's little consolation right now. Hang in there, you will be out with the 3D people again before you know it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-so-isolated#post-1007381 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 22:09:26 +0000 Weagle 1007381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( Sorry. It's tough when LOs are sick. You could definitely get out for walks. Or, when my LO is sick I meet up with friends in an outdoor place like a park. My LO and her baby friends are just getting to the point where they pay attention to each other enough to share germs, and it's much easier to keep them apart outside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/feeling-so-isolated#post-1007298 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 21:26:20 +0000 Corduroy 1007298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm feeling pretty down at the moment. LO started daycare just over a month ago and it's been cold after cold. I know it's typical but I didn't realize how lonely it would be. I feel like I haven't left the house except to work in the past month either because LO is sick or I am and I don't want to spread it to anyone. </p> <p>Today DH, LO, and I were feeling good so we took the rare opportunity to visit some friends. By the car ride home LO had diarrhea and a fever of 102f. Now I feel like crap for exposing my friend's baby and feeling like I'll never get to socialize again. </p>
