Sick just got real.™ + $25 Gift Card Giveaway

The video and gift card have been provided by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare. All thoughts and reviews are my own.

When your child is sick you feel helpless. You wish you were the one who was sick because they just don't understand and you just want them to feel better. At least that's how I feel and of course I inevitably get it too, it's the cycle of sickness. My children thankfully haven't been sick very often. But when one gets sick, we all do...
 
 
 
I think the most memorable time was when went on our yearly family vacation a few years ago.
I was pregnant with Peanut and Sweet Pea had developed the worst cough. I had to call my pediatrician to ask what we could give her until we got home. He gave us the dosage for Children’s Dimetapp®, so a quick midnight run to Walmart was in order. It was a stressful mess. And after all that planning, much of beach time was spent resting in the condo. Now I always prepare a little go-to "sick" kit for our vacations.

How do you handle when your kids are sick? Besides having to deal with the everyday hustle and bustle, you now have sick kiddos putting everything to a halt. Have you seen this awesome Sick just got real.™ video yet? As soon as I saw it, I totally could relate to her situation. When your children are sick, although it can feel overwhelming, you just want them to feel better.

  32. Since our family has asthma and usually each year we become infected with an upper respiratory infection, I take big precautions. First I make sure that I take them in to see the doctor for their breathing treatments. Then, I make sure that they are breathing well at home. Breathing is imperative. Then I make sure to bleach down everything around me so that if they do have a bacteria they do not reinfect themselves or others. Bleach is the miracle worker in my home. :D
