Addyson got her 1st cold at the end of Feb that lasted 3 weeks. Poor little baby. She was so sad looking, but still wanted to play some everyday when she wasn't sleeping. It started out as a little stuffiness, then the cough. Oh the cough, it lasted the whole 3 weeks. It was the saddest
thing ever. We had moved her out of our room when she was about 1 1/2 old but moved her right back in when she got sick. We had her in the pack-n-play, elevated with pillows, and cranked up the humidifier. We found some great baby style vicks, and vapo bath, the greatest inventions ever. I also found this terrible contraption called baby simply saline.
I say it is terrible, but it works FABULOUSLY. It has a wand connected on it and it sprays saline in her nose under pressure and really helps get the boogies out. I am sure we have scared her for life with the blue bulb syringe. She literally cringed everytime I came at her with it. She went to the docotor twice and to Cooks ER for a horrible nasal swab for possible pertussis. What a crazy time, I had just gone back to work and then she got sick, no pertussia, praise God. Our sweet little sunshine head. She is all better now and doing well, smiling, laughing, and loving life again as are we:)
