My ds is going on his fourth illness since starting in september! He sleeps in a swing, which helps. Our kids will have great immunity, I guess! https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913975 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 23:42:33 +0000 blackbird 1913975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: you could just roll some towels up and stick them up under the mattress, too. Or books. I wouldn't necessarily run out and buy anything </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913876 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:43:49 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkb: Thanks, I truly can't complain, we did make it to a year without anything. especially after last winter and me having the flu when she was only two months old at Christmas. Hopefully we can power through this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913869 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:40:20 +0000 pinkb 1913869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prop one end of the mattress up by just putting some of LO's thicker books under one end of the mattress. Saline spray and snot sucker, if they let you :) work wonders! And we use the Vicks humidifier. We have only had 2 colds so far at 2 years old, but man they are rough. I hope she feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913860 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:31:03 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Awesome! I'll be picking that up first thing tomorrow morning along with some vicks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913858 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:29:31 +0000 blackbird 1913858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: Yep anything that allows the snot to not just SIT in their sinus and nose cavities the whole time. I always have to sleep super propped up when I'm sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913856 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:28:38 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: That's a great idea. Do you think that foam wedge for the mattress would work too?<br /> @mrbee: I'm gonna make him pay for a day at the spa all exclusive lol! thanks again,<br /> @beloved: Thank you,</p> <p>It's breaking my heart to hear her little wheezes in between breaths over the video monitor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913853 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:26:57 +0000 mrbee 1913853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh @blackbird: has a great point! Whenever possible, we try to get our sick kids to sleep in a car seat or stroller so that their congestion isn't as bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913847 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:23:55 +0000 blackbird 1913847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, mist and some saline/snot sucking with baby vick's rub. also elevating one end of the crib so LO isn't super flat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913843 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:21:40 +0000 mrbee 1913843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: Haha please record it and email me the video!!</p> <p>Seriously though, hope your LO gets better soon! Bee has this all in her post, but a steam shower (esp, with eucalyptus oil) + Vicks baby rub on the chest and feet does wonders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913842 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:21:40 +0000 beloved 1913842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: we use the crane cool mist! So sorry your LO is feeling sick </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913836 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:19:20 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Totally doing that!!!! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913831 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:17:23 +0000 mrbee 1913831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaPhoenix: Haha ok, well maybe just tell him that you're taking two weeks off after he gets back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913829 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:16:38 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beloved: Cool mist? or the warm one for vicks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913828 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:16:06 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: only if you want to see a grown man have a full on crying temper tantrum. lol The planning for his trip is a year long HUGE event around here.

Bee and a few other bloggers wrote some posts on cold remedies here:</p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/treating-colds/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/treating-colds/</a></p> <p>Can your DH skip the first few days of his trip?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ive-dreaded-this-night-would-come-and-now-its-here#post-1913812 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 21:07:47 +0000 MamaPhoenix 1913812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started Lo in Daycare on Wednesday. I'm still off two more weeks recovering from surgery and it was rough last week. DH has taken over with dd and isn't getting any sleep (because he's with her during the day and at work over midnight's) So we decided to start her. Today when we picked her up from daycare I noticed the other little girl in her room nose was running like crazy and my stomach just sank. After being asleep for two hours she's woken up crying like crazy no tears though but her nose is running like mad. She's so stuffed she can't sooth herself with her soother because she can't breath. I knew it was eventually gonna happen but right now just sucks. I'm still recovering and DH leaves for two weeks hunting on sat!!!!<br /> Help me out bee's. What works best. What treatments, medication over the counter or what have you will make this easier on her and myself? </p>
