All He has

Last week was one of the hardest weeks I have had as a mother thus far. Yes I know there will be many harder times, but I am new at this and had no idea. My Asher man came down with a cold about 3 weeks ago. Cough, runny nose, etc. It progressed into a double ear infection in one ear. He was given an antibiotic to ease/cure the problem. Last week, he began running a fever on Monday afternoon. By Tuesday morning, my child was completely lethargic! I was woken up to him vomiting and running an extremely high fever and boy was I scared. He had never been sick before. So I stayed home with him and pretty much cuddled and held him tight all day long. Off and on all day he was running fever. It finally broke that afternoon. We woke up the next day and he went to daycare bc his fever was pretty much gone. So I thought! He was sent home from daycare with high fever and very irritable. His little cheeks were beginning to turn pinkish
That night as I was bathing him, I noticed spots starting to appear on his body. I assumed it was from vomiting so much. The next morning, the spots had spread! Some covering patches of his face, neck, stomach, etc. I called the dr to hear that it was a viral rash from high fever. So the next day, my child's face was swollen, body covered- I called the dr. After being seen, we learned that Asher is allergic to amoxicillin. The antibiotic that was given to him the week before. The proper treatment was administered and we are in the road to recovery now! Praise Jesus! - Now for why it was one of the hardest times for me! I realized even more that I was all he had. He can't tell me what hurts! He can't tell me what to do help him! How sad! To think that my son could have had difficulty breathing had we put off the dr visit !!!! It'd heartbreaking. I am so thankful that my God trusts me to take care of Asher. He gave me the most precious gift ..... its up to me to take care of him and love him and nurture him.accordingly! Gods mercy and love is overwhelming! He has equipped me with the right tools to be a great mom. He gave me the strength to be strong in order to be there for my baby. I love you Lord!
