Sad :(
Celia has her first cold ever. Up until this week she had never been sick before. Oh well - bound to happen sometime, right?
Yesterday was awful. She cried and cried big alligator tears, and when she stopped crying she cried an angry cry. It was so hard to not know how to help her. She wasn't acting sick yesterday - but this afternoon I have a bad headache, so maybe that is how the cold starts and her head hurt yesterday? She was up crying every 1-2 hours last night. After rocking her, etc she slept in our bed a couple times and Jason rocked her in the livingroom early in the morning. We eventually just kept her with us so Nicholas could sleep. We didn't want to chance both of them crying. So, i took her to the pediatrician this morning and her ears look great, a little red throat and a cold was the diagnosis.
I gave them chicken noodle soup (10 month olds don't know how to slurp - ha ha), vitamins (poly vi sol), vanilla icecream (in case of a sore throat), and lots of hugs :)
She is in a better mood today and napping better. Hopefully tonight is better too. :)
Grandma Maus picked up a Theraflu vapor-thingy too. So we will turn that on tonight. :)
We grow so fast. . .

Poor lil' Celia! I hope she gets better really soon. It's no fun when they get sick, it makes you wish you could just be sick for them. It sounds like you have all your bases covered - vitamins, soup, ice cream - you are set. She will be better in no time! The bright side is she (& Nicholas if he gets it) should be all better way before Christmas is here. Hope tonight is a better sleeping night for all of you!
ReplyDeleteGrandma hopes she's feeling much better! kisses!
ReplyDeleteHey Jill,
ReplyDeleteLindon has had a virus as well. No sick symptoms, but a high fever and a mild rash. It has been going on since last Friday and every night he has been up crying the same way Celia has. All day the cranky thing too. Not very pleasant and it has definately tested my nerves.
He is starting to get better though.
Poor Celia!! :( Its the season for colds. My babies have colds too. Can't really give them medicine, but we use lots of vapor products! They are not sleeping well. I have been hearing the same from a lot of mommies lately. We will all get thru this!
