A few days ago,
lemon_says wondered why her kids went to the ER more than her friends' kids. It all balances out in a karmic scale. My kids barf when they get colds. Curse you, post-nasal drip!
Other kids just get the sniffly noses, red faces, etc..Not here!
I'm an expert at field-stripping a Britax in less than a minute. My kids know to stand in the entry of the house and take everything off while Mommy breathes shallowly. I have a bigger-than-average collection of rag bag towels just in case.
The last 10 days haven't been pretty, and Katie is only 2 days into this cold. (Amelia's on antibiotics for a double ear infection right now and the cold might be leaving someday...) I took her into the doctor today because she was starting to sound croupy and she was running a temperature. When the doctor looks at you and says, "Buckle in for a bad week," it makes Mama want to drink.

Date: 2010-02-01 04:07 am (UTC)Today, Katie asked me to drape a towel over her as we were driving back from the doctor's office. I thought she was cold. Next thing I knew...
I thanked her profusely for being so thoughtful in recognizing she was going to be sick. I only had to wash her jacket, shirt, and the straps of the seat.
It's the little victories.

Date: 2010-02-01 01:52 pm (UTC)FYI, regular antibiotics, ie amoxicillin, never worked on Lily's ear infections. It had to be Omnicef or that infection wasn't budging. My younger daughter responds to amoxicillin though. I don't get it.

Date: 2010-02-01 09:28 pm (UTC)s was good at motion sickness and has a long commute to school, so our car got it on a regular basis (and the school bus once or twice, yay). he's much better now. at home i make mine sleep on the couch covered in big beach towels when they are pukey. pull off the top layer and all set. if they won't blow, have you considered spiking their juice with wasabi powder?
i hope they are feeling better soon so mama can sleep through the night.
