He just got home a little while ago. Thanks to everyone who prayed for him. He had a great week and is still sharing details. For now he is in the shower using tea tree soap. I thought I was pretty specific with my prayer request. Apparently not quite specific enough. He was just flat eat up with bed bugs! I mean head to toe! I have no experience with this so please if you have helpful advice share, please share! What do I do about his belongings he had in the room? Is there something that will give him relief from the itching? Help please!
I know. I have been neglecting this blog. Horribly. That's not the only thing that has been thrown by the wayside lately! It is only for a season though. Pregnancy means you must be patient with yourself and accept that sometimes you must let things slide. That also means that you have to plan in order to conserve your energy. I know if I am going somewhere later today then I don't need to rush around and try to get a lot done in the morning. Priorities must be in order. Although the morning sickness is better it isn't totally gone at this point. Whoever named it that anyway? The main thing I have been dealing with is fatigue. My blog shows it. My laundry shows it. My house shows it. Ack, everywhere shows it! I simply do not have the energy to do the bending up and down required to truly clean up, do laundry, and the vacuuming/sweeping etc. It's quite depressing actually! So I do a little here, do a little there. I manage the necessities such as homeschooling, cooking, ...
Use general bug spray all over his clothes (outside...then wash in bleach water if at all possible)...my husband says use turpentine or lice medication all over his body to kill any remaining bugs/eggs, etc...and to use benadryl and calamine lotion for the itching. I've never dealt with bedbugs but this is what his dad told him to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris
ReplyDeleteI will have to try that...unfortunately we live way out from the stores and I don't have any bug spray, turpentine, or lice medication. I suppose that would be good to just have on hand! I tried googling it and it did not tell too much what to do about it. But when I found out how bad they can infest your house it just freaked me out!!! Nasty and determined little critters!!
