I have not envied my wife this week. Sairshe is at the tail end of a cold she's had all week. Casey is also at the tail end of a cold. I've been totally slammed at work and have had to work long days. It is not a happy household, though things were better yesterday and should be today as well.
Apparently, babies can get upwards of ten colds in their first year, but I don't think any will be as bad as this week was. (At least I hope not.)
What makes this harder is that you can't give babies cold medicine. You can run a humidifier in the room, but no decongestant vapor in it. There's no such thing as baby Sudafed or at least you don't use it with a 4 month old. Babies can't blow their noses for something like a year. So this is what I have done.
Used a saline solution and bulb syringe to remove snot...Sairshe hates that.
Held her a lot.
Slept on the couch propped up so Sairshe can sleep upright.
At least she's been sleeping a lot.
Yeah...and...that's pretty much all I've got to say about that.
