Didn't I just post a few days ago about Bubby being the healthiest he's ever been? It was true. I promise. He had been cold/virus free for several months, until last night.
After he fell asleep is apparently when this stupid cold decided to attack him. He was really pretty normal up until then. He had a few loose stools yesterday and HORRIBLY stinky breath but he wasn't congested at all. I went out with some friends and while we were sitting at the restaurant my mom calls me asking where the humidifier is. Just great right? She said he was having a hard time breathing and was really stopped up. I stayed out for a while trying to enjoy myself as much as I could knowing I was going to walk into a sick baby situation when I got home. Sure enough the moment I opened the door I am hit by the smell of Vicks. I go into my moms room and she had the humidifier running on one side of the room and the vaporizer on the other. My mom and I had to move them both into my room (which included a momentary freak out as the vaporizer started POURING water out all over the carpet) and get them set back up and running. He woke up this morning HOT and miserable. We have been dosing with Tylenol and Motrin, alternating every 3 or so hours. I'm doing saline drops, Baby Vicks on the chest and feet, and all the liquids he will take. He ate ketchup for breakfast. It's all he wanted and trust me he had options.
I have the vaporizer set up in the den where he has most of his toys but of course he's rather chase the dogs with the fly swatter! Oh well at least he is feeling well enough to play.
