Poor sick babies
Both AJ and Zoe are so stuffy and raspy and phlegmy that I really need to get them to the doctors. I’ll have to call in the morning and see if I can get them in tomorrow. I ran out about 9:30 tonight to get a few things at the store and when I got home, John said that Zoe fussed most of the time I was gone. He tried to feed her, changed her, etc. etc. etc. but nothing really seemed to fix it. I suggested that maybe she just wanted to be held, but apparently that wasn’t it either.
I ended up feeding her the bottle when I got home and she did take it without much fuss. We saline-sprayed her nose and “boogie-sucker”ed her before putting her in bed for the night. She went out almost immediately.
AJ was still coughing in spite of our trying out the vaporub on the feet thing that was recommended in an email yesterday. He said “it smells good, but it didn’t stop my cough.” So, I gave him some cold and cough meds for the night and he went right back to sleep too.
I just finished in the shower and am ready for bed. I’m going to read Lauren Myracle’s L8r G8r until I collapse. I want it back in circulation by Monday, which shouldn’t be a problem. When I finish it I’ll be on to The Golden Compass. I need to read it in case anyone has a fit that it’s in my library. It’s not my thing, so I just hope I can get through it. I’m not a big fantasy reader.
