And the Cold Strikes

Patrick got his first dose of the common cold this week. It started Sunday night...he couldn't sleep because he couldn't breathe out of his nose. So, we ended up with him in our bed waking up every two hours. Finally morning came and his entire nose was covered with dry, green, (you guessed it) boogers!! It was soooo gross! I did not go to work so I could take him to the doctor. The doc said it was just a cold with a runny nose and since he is only 6 months old, there is not much medicine we can give him. We did give him Tylenol and we put two humidifiers in his room and stuck law books under his mattress to elevate his head. Things seem to be better and hopefully he will return to school on Thursday!!
