And the meds must be awful because mine normally takes them no problem just like your's.<br /> @Tanjowen: Yes a box of chocolates or a case of wine sounds nice right about now! He just sent a message that he landed! Wish it didn't take a full hour to get out of the plane/airport! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186155 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:53:22 +0000 Mama Bird 2186155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my, I'm sorry! B just had strep too... bad week for strep I guess? He always takes antibiotics no problem, but he said this one tastes bad, so it must be pretty nasty.</p> <p>The good part is, once he had the first couple of doses he was looking and feeling much better. So I hope this is the turning point for you. Hope your husband gets home soon and you can relax. In the meantime, hugs, and hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186150 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:51:20 +0000 catlady 2186150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness, a million hugs!

I remember one day I was at work when I was very pregnant, and they extended DH. I lost it and started bawling and scared my co-workers, and they all brought me chocolate the next few days, haha. </p> <p>You deserve a medal (or a case of wine once the baby comes out) for being solo with a 2 year old and being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186129 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:35:29 +0000 turkeylurkey 2186129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: It is hard being a pilot wife!

My 2.5 year old has strep too. She actually likes her medicine this time, but she had strep a few months ago and that medicine must've tasted like crap because she would Not take it!! I had to lay her down on the couch and squirt it in every time while Dh held her arms :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186114 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:25:39 +0000 turkeylurkey 2186114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: Oh thank you for sharing that you had to restrain her! That's what I was doing too. It was awful he was yelling at me and saying that he wants his Daddy and for me to get away! Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186100 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:20:13 +0000 Tanjowen 2186100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fellow wife of a pilot here. Sorry it was a crummy week, and doing it solo is HARD. Hang in there mama and I hope the day and tonight go much better!</p> <p>And would your LO do a Popsicle? It could be soothing for the throat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186068 Thu, 21 May 2015 14:07:13 +0000 nana87 2186068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh that sounds so rough!! I hope your lo feels better soon and your dh gets home soon so you can get some much deserved rest! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186048 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:58:09 +0000 Anagram 2186048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turkeylurkey: It does sound like an awful week. I'm so sorry! My 22 month old just had strep last week and I had to hold her down with my leg over her chest to squirt medicine in her mouth--every single time the first few days. I think her throat just hurt so much she didn't want anything--I was alternating advil and motrin for pain every 4 hours and then added the 2 doses of amoxicilin each day as well. </p> <p>She didn't like the meds, but she would actually eat and drink an hour or two after taking them, so then she started to improve.</p> <p>Hope he gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186012 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:42:49 +0000 Synchronicity 2186012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, what a rough week! Sending some :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ugh-this-weeks-been-hard#post-2186005 Thu, 21 May 2015 13:38:40 +0000 turkeylurkey 2186005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 2 yo came down with Strep on Tuesday. Monday night was really hard he woke-up every hour crying. Tuesday we went to the doctor and got meds. He took the first dose no problem. Then he slept for a few hours and so did I. My aunt came to help me Tuesday night since DH is out of town all week. I'm 8 months prego so getting very tired and moving slow these days. My aunt went to the grocery store for me which was a huge help. Tuesday night wasn't bad. Wednesday my mom came to watch him during the day so i could go to work. I got home early around 3pm. He had refused to take medicine all day. Looked horrible. She couldn't get him to wash his face or do anything. I tried to put the medicine in milk, I tried bribes with candy, I finally resorted to holding him down and squirting some in his mouth. Which I then in-turn knocked over the entire bottle of meds! I call CVS to get a refill and they won't do it without doctor consent. By this time of day that was too late. Last night I brought him into my bed because he is upstairs and I'm too huge and tired to go up and down the stairs a gazillion times! He peed 3 times in the bed, which then left zero space for this huge prego chick to sleep. So I slept on the couch. He woke-up every hour crying. I finally got some Motrin in him around 3am. My mother-in-law was supposed to arrive at our house around 7:30am. But there was a major wreck on the freeway and she didn't arrive until 9am. By the time she got there I was able to strip the bed and get the wash going, take my shower and start a load of dishes. My LO sat most of the time crying. Refusing to eat, take medicine, take a bath, watch cartoons, etc. I just feel awful that he is so tired, in pain and feeling crummy! My DH was supposed to land at 1pm today but guess what... there is a major thunderstorm and flooding so he can't land. I at least was able to get one dose of medicine in him this morning. And he ate a bag of goldfish. Please lord let this be the turning point! I can't do another night like last night. It breaks my heart and every muscle in my body is sore from all the rocking him to fall back asleep. I just needed to get this off my chest. It's hard sometimes being the wife of a pilot and you're trying to do all of this. </p>
