Winter colds.

This year we all got sick as a family twice. Just as we were getting over a cold and starting to feel normal again. We got another bug this time it came with a fever. This was Taylor's first time feeling miserable, the other times didn't seem to slow her down at all. This time she had a fever and not much energy. For the first time I was worried, there must be something I can do to make her feel better. It was heart breaking having to watch her in so much discomfort. Now that she is feeling better, and back to drawing on the walls I am relieved that it's all over for now. One thing we found to be helpful in addition to medicine were Popsicles, which we made out of Gatorade. When we got sick the first time I dug out the Vick's vaporizer, the one that is supposed to emit steam with medicated vapor. After setting it up and running it for the first night I found that it didn't work very well, no steam and very little vapor. So I set out to find something that would work, I saw a commercial for a plug in device that uses little pads. I bought it and was pleasantly surprised, it actually filled the whole room with intense vapor that made it easier to breath all night. (Shameless product plug)

Mylot

I received a comment on my last post that introduced me to Mylot. I found a nice parenting discussion board, it has a nice community of people that respond to questions and ideas quickly.
They offer a small payment for those who comment and start discussions a lot. I find it a nice place to check into every now and then.
