It's that day again....Wednesday

[dreemkin]

Anything to share with the class?

[dreemkin]

I know Wednesdays are slow. Ann is still sick. She is so congested she is coughing up mucus. Last night at dinner she coughed so hard that she gagged and threw up. Yay sensitive gag reflex *sarcasm* (aggiebug I know you understand that with S). I am giving her benadryl to maybe help dry it up but it sucks that she can't have cough medicine to help her congestion. She seems maybe better today. I will be missing an extended family birthday get together tonight because of it. Kids and their illnesses...

dreemkin I am sorry it sucks. And sadly yes I know allllll about it. Thankfully she seems to understand it a bit so when she will calm her self down when she is screaming, doesn't help the cough though.

I know what you mean. A has been stifling her coughs...which is good bc no puke...bad bc she doesn't cough up the phlegm, like a cough is supposed to.

Anyone know where I packed away the 9 month clothes? Poor A is probably going to be stuck swimming in 12 month clothes here soon if I can't locate them. You'd think the be in the closet with all the other clothes. Maybe V never wore that size?

Besides that I've got to settle on the boys' Halloween costumes this afternoon. Oh and it's MIL's bday so dinner with her tonight.

dreemkin hope A feels better soon, and no more puking!

Haha oh dear I hate that! No one you would let borrow some clothes?

[aggiebug]

My in laws are coming I should be cleaning but I am not. I should also be prepping for my trip next week ( just making lists) but I am not. Clearly I want to avoid both situations.

Another closet, basement, crawlspace, garage?
And have a fun time at dinner!

Lol, I found them! It was a small bag tucked in with a larger size...apparently V wasn't in that size very long. The day clothes should be sufficient but I'll need to buy some more for A to sleep in.

seamonster what brand of sleep sacks did you use?

I buy them on Amazon. Dreambag and slumber safe are the brands we have. I think one is from another site called Mr sandman. We've have 3-6 year size.

dreemkin I hope A feels better soon! Do you give honey to help the cough? It usually makes a noticeable improvement with G. The last couple colds he’s wanted to take it in a medicine syringe instead of a spoon but thankfully the consistency works either way.

kartish glad you found the clothes! Hope the birthday dinner is good.

aggiebug good luck with the IL visit. Does this visit mean you rearranged your Texas trip to not be so hard on you?

[lilyelayne]

Bible study this morning. G stayed home with my dad since he had a fever yesterday. I actually ended up helping in his classroom since he wasn’t there, so I got to interact with those kids & the teachers.

I accidentally fell asleep this afternoon. DH woke me up when he got home. Thank goodness we had leftovers in the fridge for dinner.

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that's a good idea! How much and how often do you give it to see the biggest difference?

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin we give one tablespoon before bed; just brush teeth afterward.
There’s a study referenced in this Mayo Clinic article that suggests 2 tablespoons.
www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/expert-answers/honey/faq-20058031

ETA: so we give it about 30-45 minutes before he actually gets in bed. I’ve done it before naps for especially bad coughs too.
