Our First Brush With Illness

There seems to be a vague but bad illness going through our family. There is high fever (103+) and a slightly sick stomach, lethargy for about 24 – 36 hours, then it is over.

I do not want mom to experience this. This is my first major illness to try to keep her from getting. She primarily sits at command center (AKA, the kitchen table), so she can observe the house, making it seemingly easy to avoid anyone spreading their germs to her. We are not quite sure what we are dealing with, so it is hard to figure out a game plan to keep her healthy.

We wash hands, sanitize in the dishwasher, wipe doorknobs and handles. Am I missing anything? What strategies do you use, if any, to try and keep the kid’s illnesses from making your elderly parent ill.

Thank you for sharing!
