[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why don't you talk to her vs. us?  This makes no sense to post here.  Clearly you are well enough to post and be on social media.  You had the kid a tablet and keep him in the bed next to you.  I don't get how you are posting here a very clear post and yet saying you are that sick.  When I'm that sick I cannot use even a tablet.[/quote]

Op here. I’ve of course reached out to our nanny and asked for a call and am waiting to hear back.

Ds won’t watch a tablet or a screen. He never stops moving. Ever.

I’m ok in this moment but the fevers tend to come on fast and furious in the evening.[/quote]

How do you entertain your son or keep him busy? Does he sleep 8-12 hours?

Op here. It takes extreme amounts of effort. We have a lot of help. DS requires at minimum one strong and fast adult to have hands free and eyes on him 100% of the time. So it requires 2 adults to really watch him because you can’t even prepare food while watching him because he’s so fast and destructive.

Honestly this is a huge part of why we are in this situation. DH and I kept getting sick over and over again since October but we didn’t really have any option but to suck it up and push through no matter how bad we felt. But we never got to get any rest or good sleep because our son is so challenging. And so then in the last week we just got taken down and I wound up hospitalized. We’re improving but still in a pretty bad situation.

Our sweet 6 year old is loving life right now though since he’s getting so much time with just DH and I. And unlimited screen time lol.[/quote]
