  • Perception is NOT reality

    My daughter has been sick going on 3 days now — fever, chills, hallucinations. Those are the freakiest things to watch her experience. She sees and feels thing and has this wild look in her eyes. And of course she yells at me during them for not helping her. Moms sometimes can’t win — Today…
