The last few weeks we have been a family plagued by sickness... Dustin was the first one to bite the dust with a wicked cold that completely wiped him out.
Though he tried his best to keep his distance from William & I the inevitable happened...William got sick...for his very . first. time. It was zero fun!
He kept waking up one night just sobbing his poor nose was so stuffed up that he couldn't breath laying down. Solution. I held him propped up by pillows.
The next morning we made a much needed trip to Target where $50 later I had every Baby cold remedy the store could offer!!!
-the Nose Frieda(essential)
-baby saline nose drops
-baby ibuprofen
-'boogie wipes'
-baby vicks chest rub
The poor thing was miserable and absolutely hated having his mouth and nose suctioned every couple of hours.
To sleep we had to keep him propped up on a pillow...so he could breath, with a huge body pillow around him, so he wouldn't roll onto his tummy...a humidifier, vicks rub, and mommy or daddy to keep him company.
The sickness lasted 8 agonizing days. I tried to keep him comfortable with soothing baths, stories, & snuggles!
Hopefully we made it through sick season!
