Subject: Re: We have sickness again Author: Shelly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Wednesday, April 15, 2026, 09:32: am In reply to: Shelly 's message, "We have sickness again" on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, 05:56: pm Neither one of them slept very well last night. They still don't want anything to eat. Fevers are just a little above normal rectally now. Going to try to get a few sips of some tea down them here in a little bit and warm enemas for both. Enemas when I was growing up and I was sick was in a way comforting and made me sleepy so I could get a nap. The other three of us are crossing our fingers we don't get it. My oldest is already upset because tonight is enema night for him and sitter won't be able to give it to him. Sitter is very clingy, wants attention like any sick child wants from their mommy. I gave her a long scalp massage in the middle of the night to comfort her. I think if she were a kitten she would have purred! She liked that so much. Doesn't even whine about the frequent rectal temps and enemas. Just wants to be comforted. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

And can even transmit that way to others from the feces. Typical flu virus will load up in the colon also so it helps the body fight the virus by getting what you can out of the digestive tract with your enemas. That is one more area the body doesn't have to attack it as well. You do need to be vigilant in cleanliness with the enemas and clean up. If the child felt up to it we always try to do nice soaking baths too. Or give them a wash cloth bath in bed. In our family the sick child always tolerates having enemas too because they just crave the attention and it in fact does make them sleepy. They almost always get a nice nap afterwards. Warm enemas usually also mitigate headaches because the headache in a sick child is most often from them being dehydrated. Be vigilant with them with clean ups. And keep up the hydrating enemas until they are drinking enough. Take care. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
