I am getting really bad about getting the hang of this blogging deal. I love to do it. I love that people come up to me around town and say that they have been reading it. It makes me feel great that my hermit life is interesting to them.
I have barely left the house with Maggie at all. If I need something at the store Mikey goes, some one to check the mail, Mikey goes, and if I just randomly want a soda, Mikey goes. Now I want everyone to know that Mikey HATES going to the store and the post office. I don't know if it is because he doesn't like to leave his chair once he gets the chores around the house done or if he just doesn't like to run into people. Either way I think that it is really sweet of him, but I have a feeling that he does it so that he doesn't want to be left with Maggie for very long. Anyways, so Maggie and I start venturing out with him. Not like going to get the mail or go to the store, but for drives in the mountains or out in Nevada. It's nice because we get to spend quality time together and I like that.
The main reason why I don't leave my house is because I don't want to get sick. It worked for awhile we were all healthy and doing fine, UNTIL we started doing these drives. I don't know how it happened but Mikey gets a three day head cold, Maggie gets a head cold, and of course if Maggie and Mikey have it, I get it. It doesn't matter if we wash our hands, I disinfect everything with Lysol spray and bleach, and we try to avoid sick people, we still end up with something nasty. Normally I don't mind because I can handle a nasty cough, or a splitting migraine, but as soon as I get a stuffy nose I am down for the count. I can't breath, my eyes feel like they are tired, and my head just floats off of my shoulders like it were a balloon. Not to mention not matter what type of tissue I use my nose still turns into Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
I know that I am complaining when Maggie has it too, but don't worry I already feel horrible about her being sick. The first reason why is because for most of her life she has been a sick baby, but mostly because I know how miserable I am and I can only imagine how bad it is for her. It's not like she can blow her nose. I tried all day not to take some cold medicine because if she could suffer through it, so could I. Unfortunately by this afternoon I couldn't handle it any more I NEEDED SOME RELIEF!!! I put boiling water on the stove with some vinegar in it, it helped clear my nose up for an hour. I was going to do it to Maggie too, but it kind of burns your already dry nose a little and I was not going to put my baby's head over a boiling pan of water!
So despite how much Mikey does not like the smell of vinegar I am putting it in the vaporizer tonight. I am wondering if it would work, but I will let you guys know for sure.
William is sick too I took him to the ER they drew blood and I cried vix I felt so bad that he had to go through the needle poking him and oh man did I have tears I even made the nurse cry and feel bad lol. well turns out he got RSV so we spent the night in the hospital we got to come home last night but today he sounds horrible so I have vix in the vaporisor and a cool air humidifier goin in our bedroom with the door closed so that hopefully when we go to bed he can breathe good. It's the worst thing ever to see him sick its Like one thing after another for him I can't wait to have him better!
ReplyDeleteI Use the Vicks Vaporizer too (with the liquid medicine that goes in it)! And use Vicks Baby rub on Olivia's chest and give her Baby Tylenol, those combined really seem to help, especially at night to help her sleep better. Personally I like the humidifier for myself as well, I leave it on all night and by the middle of the night and when I wake up, my nose is cleared up for most of the day.
ReplyDeleteSorry you guys are so sick! Seems like nothing is worse than you AND your baby being sick. I hate it when we get a nasty cold! Don't forget lots of rest if you can and some chicken noodle soup! :)
