Sickly sickerson

[vernacular_life]

Last night was a bear.....I realize how lucky I am that Ben sleeps thru the
night, but nights like last make it REALLY hit home.

Poor kid has a stuffed nose, and a humidifier + saline drops barely help. He
woke at 9 abd 2 miserable. Nursed him to sleep at 2 and tried to put him in
his bouncer which is slightly inclined, but he wouldn't have any of it.
Think we'll prop up the mattress tonight, but he moves around so much that
he'll probably wind up downhill.

For me, its coughing and runny nose time, and -surprise!!!- suspected pink
eye. Joy joy

And to make it even more fun, Judd thinks he's coming down w/ it, too, abd we
all know how men handle being sick......at least he can take sudafed and
dimetapp.

3pm can't come soon enough

Middle of the night wake-ups due to illness are the WORST! I feel for ya darlin'! I never did master the nose bulb suction thing. But at least Ellie tolerates the saline spray pretty well! Hope Ben and you and Judd are feeling better soon.

Get some rest when you can!

We tried the bulb syringe, but the snot is wayyyy up there. I think its only effective if its right at the end of the nose.

I hope all of you are able to rest up over the weekend and get better!!
