The very few cases that occurred were in Louisiana, and while the causes are unclear, there is some speculation that damage to the water supply still left over from Hurricane Katrina was a factor. You are in California, according to your profile. Do you keep your kids inside so that doesn't happen? Or do you trust that it's so unlikely that it's not worth worrying about? The chances of there being a problem are less than being struck by lightning. What symptoms does your child display? None? That's what I would expect. That would be much more productive and accurate than scaring yourself to death with endless Google searches.Īre you on well water? Have you had it tested? You can call your town's Department of Public Works or the Health Department to get a copy of the water report - it's probably on line. Making a child fearful of the world is a real mistake, and you need to address this in yourself.Īre you on town/city water? Then relax because it is tested and treated regularly. You sound like you've gone way overboard, and it will hurt your home life and your marriage, as well as your children's normal development if you don't get a handle on it. Obsessing over the health of your kids is NOT the same as normal concern. I'm glad you are getting some help with Lexapro, but you still HAVE to hide this from your children. And if you are crying and crying over this, you should consider whether or not YOU have a problem, mama. Honestly, you can google yourself into a total frenzy. Unless your water supply is totally polluted, you shouldn't have to worry about water-borne amoeba. What you should be worried about is the force of how the water went into his nostrils. Take him to the doctor, talk to the doctor OUT OF HIS EARSHOT and let the doc look at his nasal passages to see if they are okay. They are children and they deserve to have a few carefree years to not be afraid of the world. No matter how worried you are, DON'T show it in front of your children. You will teach your children to be hypochondriacs. I hope you can help yourself so that you do not stress yourself out so badly. Not many family members want to deal with her anymore. She refuses to deal with it and it is putting quite a strain on our relationship.

My mom suffers from anxiety and now that she is getting older it seems to be getting much worse. Please talk to your doctor about your anxiety because it sounds like it is interfering with your life. That brain eating amoeba is super super rare.you have a much larger chance of your kids dying from riding in the car which we all do daily.

I never worried about it and they were always fine. Yes, my kids have sprayed the hose water up their nose, sucked in water in the pool, and while swimming in the ocean/lake. Try not to show your extreme worries to them. Your behavior is helping to shape the kind of adults they will one day be. If you are panicking and can't stop crying this is really bad.and not a good thing to show your children. It sounds like you must suffer from anxiety to a point that it is becoming debilitating. Oh my gosh.you are so over worrying about this. this is the sort of red flag that cannot be ignored. but for your sake and your kids' sakes, don't adopt a wait-and-see attitude. if you are unable to make good decisions for yourself, have your husband take over. my dear, you may need to check into a psychiatric hospital so that you can get the maximum help you need right now, today. I'm very worried about you, and very worried about your kids. if you google every bad thing that could happen from every ordinary action in the life of a child, and then assuming worst-case scenario against all common sense, you're going to spend your life in a sodden heap of wreckage and teach your children to be terrified to make a single move.

you MUST stop crying, stop googling and stop this terrible over-reaction to. damage from water up the nose from any reason is practically non-existent. and however sanitized and restricted you keep your children's world, bad things will still happen to them- but chances that something THIS bad will happen are almost non-existent.īrain eating bacteria are rare. you are not only making yourself crazy, you are doing real and measurable damage to your children by this sort of hysteria.īad things happen. Dear gods above and below, my dear, you MUST get a grip.
