Snotty, yucky mess :(
Yes, that describes Mitchell's current state. It has come on slowly, but his first cold is now in full force :( I wish you could just teach a baby how to blow his nose! He is soooo congested that he can hardly even eat :( We called the pediatrician and we're doing everything they recommended: 1) squirt saline solution up his nose and suck it out (he HATES it!!!! Can you blame him?) 2) elevate one side of his bed so that he's sleeping at an incline; 3) put a humidifier in his room. They said it'll take 10-14 days to run its course and will get worse before it gets better. I sure hope this is the worst that it gets. I'm staying home with him today - I made it 7 years at the firm without one single sick day....I didn't even make it 3 weeks as a working mom! Keep your fingers crossed that he's back to his old smiley self by Monday :)

Mandi--I sure hope he gets better quick. Mallory's cold was rough. If you need any advice (as we recently went through this) let me know. Good luck!

Poor Baby.... Take good care of him!

Doesn't Mitchell know that he hasn't accrued any PTO yet? He's only been on the job for a little 3months! (Three weeks if he was just temping in the first position. . . )
Feel better Mitchell-Love, Aunt Katy
Kids are germ magnets. Get ready...some day he'll barf on you. Not just spit-up...oh no. He'll wait till he starts eating solid food to yack in your lap. The good news is he's building up his immune system!
Poor baby Mitchell--I remember how glad I was when Jacob learned to blow his nose. Good Luck!!
Love,
Nee Karen
