its the guilty mother
I am now simultaneously slapping your wrist and giving you a MASSIVE hug. It is so, so hard when they are ill. Don't feel guilty, you are there caring and acting and LOVING her and that is all a mother can do. It's such a painful job, mothering, don't allow guilts in. Spoil her because you can, because you love her, but leave your guilt at the kerb for collection (or re-cycle it by giving it to some rude person you meet? )! It is not yours, so do not carry it!

I hope she's doing better soon, it sounds like such a rough thing for a kid to go through, it's hard enough for teens and adults. I'm thinking of you both.
