Sick Toddler

So, for the last week my baby girl hasn't been feeling well. She had a runny nose, a cough with phlegm, and a fever. Well after a few days with children Advil failing, the herbalist in me kicked my butt. 3 cups of peppermint and honey tea later, her coughing stopped and her fever went down. Following a friend's advice I rubbed some Vapor rub on the soles ore her feet then *poof* no more runny nose! Her sneezing lessened and soon she was running around wanting to go play. Today is day 2 of her feeling better and it looks like we kicked whatever bu she had. Peppermint tea with honey and vapor rub on feet!

Sick husband

So my husband caught whatever our dauggter had so needless to say I'm pretty much on my own. Luckily our daughter is much better making things a little easier however i overslept today so she's mad at me. It's not fun dealing wuth all the house work, the three dogs and the baby. But someone has to do it I'm just hoping that whatever they caught I haven't caught because I have an immunity to it. Haha or that it at least waits until my husband is better! Just in case I'm deinking plenty of peppermint echinacea tea to keep my immune system strong!

Virus

SO I had to go through something NO mother wants to go through with their baby. My little girl got a really bad virus that's going around and we spent a week in the hospital. They had her on an IV and she was refusing to eat she has very bad diarrhea (more like poop water) and vomited a few times. I was so proud of how brave she was was she hated blood work (who doesn't) but she never tried to take off or mess with her IV. The IV was in a splint to keep her from accidentally pulling or bending it. This splint kept her from bending her arm but she very quickly adjusted to only have one arm free. We are now at home and back to cloth diapering and she is healthy again. Unfortunately my husband caught whatever she had. He isn't too bad spending most of the day on the toilet or sleeping in between eating soup, toast and drink Gatorade. He's been taking herbal remedies to help boost his immune systems and hopefully he will be over it before it catches me.

Being sick and pregnant!

As if being tired and in pain wasn't bad enough i'm now sick! This sucks a big one since there are so many medication i can't take. Ive thought about taking infant tylenol lol but of course no medication without a doctors ok. However i can drink a tea made of peppermint, lemon and ginger which has helped a little so far! I just wish i was allowed to drink more than 2 cups a day! Haha wish me luck! <3
