The book is amazing, and I love Drew Magary anyway. My husband is not a crier, but that book got him a few times too.</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I understand that. The chapter could definitely be triggering. But maybe in a few years... it's just a really amazing, moving piece of writing. I'm so sorry you went through that experience :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-worst-illness-your-lo-has-had#post-1817060 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:24:52 +0000 cascademom 1817060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Croup and double ear infections. Croup was our first ER visit. Ear infections were a solo visit to my parents with me in tears about him not feeling well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-worst-illness-your-lo-has-had#post-1817054 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:23:30 +0000 hilsy85 1817054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@keepcalmcarrie: OMG that book made me cry so much!

Oh my gosh, all.the.tears. I cannot imagine.</p> <p>J had severe jaundice and dehydration as a newborn - his bili spiked at 21 or 22 when he was 3 days old, he ended up under the lights in the NICU for 3 days, it was horrible. After that, probably croup. Super scary when you have no idea what it is at 2 AM and your baby can't breathe :(</p> <p>Most of the time, he's healthy as a horse. But when he gets sick, he really goes all out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-the-worst-illness-your-lo-has-had#post-1817042 Thu, 14 Aug 2014 20:19:16 +0000 GrapeCrush 1817042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS: pneumonia.
