Make sure if you have respite use it! You can use it to run your errands, do your
shopping, clean the house, etc. But make sure you use it to take a break also.
If you do not have respite (if you have a g-tube child you better!) still make time
for yourself. Even though it feels like all you do is try to feed your child there is
some time in the day to take a break.
Please email us with ways you take a break so we can post your suggestions for
others to read.
Contact us if you need help with acquiring respite. There are agencies available
who will supply an RN, LVN, or CNA at no charge.
| June 28, 2006 Audrey- I go walking with a friend of mine. I felt worried about leaving Vivian and also felt bad for feeling good. But, I was a much better mom after my walks and short times alone. I felt like I had more energy and actually had a chance to miss Vivian. Sometimes it was too much to feed her all day and often watch as she would throw all our hard work back up in a second! |
