    Abigail's first cold

    So the "sickness" plagued our house over the last week. It started on Thursday with my oldest son having flu like symptoms. Then my middle son on Friday. By Saturday both babies got it and on Sunday it hit my husband. I am the only one who has not got it. The baby got it the worse. She was running a fever and coughing all weekend. I took her to the doctor on Monday and he said she just had a cold. She sounds terrible especially when she cries. I have been giving her cough medicine and rubbing Vick's on her, but nothing seems to help. I even have to use the sucker on her nose, which well..sucks! I am hoping it has ran its course and we will all stay healthy for the rest of the "flu" season. I cannot afford to have a house full of sick people again. I disinfected the house and toys so hopefully that will help. I am praying I do not get it! I hope everyone here is staying healthy! REMEMBER TO WASH YOUR HANDS ALOT!!!

    I'm sorry!  Baby colds are so scary!  Shea had a cold in the first two weeks of her life, so bad they were going to put her on a nebi, and she's finally getting over having two colds in a row now.  It's caused me a lot nights of little sleep.  I hate listening to that stuffy breathing, it's frightening when they're coughing and coughing.  I'm getting over the sickness now too, it's gone all around our house.  The older, yet still young, kids keep bringing stuff home!

     I'm sorry to hear that everyone was sick.  We are just getting over being sick here as well.  Everyone got it except for my son.  It was pretty miserable and Catherine still seems to be a little congested and hoarse.  I hope everyone gets better soon and you stay healthy.

    Yuck, we had colds a few weeks ago. Do you use saline drops before the snot sucker? I find it seems to help. Hope you don't get sick too.
