my son i three and has been in the hospital for a week....they gave him iv antibiotic and fluids, his tempture was 41 degress celcius.....he's at home now but still suffering, i think he may end back there....its so hard as i have two kids at home and this is the second time this year that he's been seriously ill.....
i think i must be doing something wrong for him to be so sick all the time....he has asthma and epilpsey so we are no strangers to the medical system.... i know that im venting but i cant help wondering what i could do to make life easier for him....im worried about his health and his overall life as he also has many developmental delays, such as speech, gross motor, fine motor and cognitive dealys.....its tough it really is, and i dont have much support of family or friends.... any advise, thoughts, or commets would be great....thankyou all......

Just a word of support...No real advice.
Regarding the health-- may be try daily vitamins,if you r not doing it already, My daughter craves them. As for delays-- the only way to adress those is to seat, and play, play, play with him. But also each kid is individual, I was told at 16 month of my daughter that she has to go now or this is the delay. Now she is 3.5 and she is fine. So,do not blame yourself-- I gues it is the main piece of the advice.

Hello - just wanted to say that
(1) DO NOT blame yourself, its a waste on energy that you could use playing with your little one. (2) Pneumonia is a nightmare - I had it six weeks ago and Im only just back to normal this week so it may take a little time (3) my little one gets one bug after another - I know its not the same as a serious illness like Pneumonia BUT I know how it feels when he is ill - hate it - my Doctor recommended multi-vitamins with iron - he is a lot better for taking them (although it has only been a week) (4) In the grand scheme of things a few weeks is nothing when it comes to developmental issues and kids learn different things at different times SO TRY NOT TO WORRY. (5) Vent away jann - thats what we're all here for. Hope he gets better soon
