I just want to scream I feel so sick from the hospital it's my anxiety I am pasting around the room   I will have to leave soon to feed the others kids and then go back to the hospital this is very challenging as it's the littlest one but I am trying to care for all I don't know how  I am trying to manage

It's a rough gig, trying to take care of kids whilst also waiting for updates in the hospital. I'm sorry that this has all landed on your shoulders @Sunnyside226 it's a tough thing to carry. Just focus on the next step, the next thing you can do. The hospital staff will do their best to take care of the little one who is unwell. You just focus on yourself and the other kids for now, yeah? You got this!

[Sunnyside226]

Yeah i will I am going home for a bit to shower and feed the kids and then I will go back up later  to see the 1 year old  I never thought this would be hard I thought kids were easy lol @Jynx  if you're around I will chat or keep you updated    just wondering if there is a rule if we are allowed to say what happened I won't say much if not that's ok I might email you guys  I don't know how it happened  now I am stuck for dinner  I don't know what to feed the one kid other newborn will have bottle talk soon

I'll be around till 10pm tonight, and then another moderator will jump on @Sunnyside226. The forums are staffed 24/7 so there's never a bad time to jump on and talk about what's happening for you (and if you ever need that extra support you can always tag @moderator so that staff are notified). 

So you can share with us as much or as little as you want - so long as it doesn't have any identifying info, graphic descriptions, or medication names. Double check the Guidelines if you're ever unsure, or just ask us. We don't really offer one-to-one/clinical support via email, though you can always check in via email if you have questions about what you can post on the forums, or anything else you wanna enquire about. If you wanna get support via email, you can email our support line/counsellors via getsupport@sane.org. 

Kids are a mixed bag in my experience! Sometimes it's the easiest thing in the world to keep em happy and occupied. Sometimes it's more challenging. But sometimes it just gets incredibly difficult, and having to take a little one to hospital is right up there with 'most challenging things to face when looking after kids'. You're doing great, even if it doesn't feel like it!

@Sunnyside226 Moderators work over the night time, but you can notify whichever staff members are online (which includes the peer support team) by using that tag. If ever you need 😉

Aww the poor thing, I hope he's okay! Yes feel free to keep us posted if you like, and just keep focusing on the next step you need to take. One thing at a time. Fingers crossed he is gonna be okay 🤞

[Sunnyside226]
