The Cardoso Sickness: Update

Current mood: sick

Wow what a start to the new year. Everyone in the house is sick... even the cat is sneezing!!! I finally got hit hard with the cold and only today am I even able to really talk pain free (due to the massive sore throat problem I had) but I am constantly blowing junk out of my nose!! EWww ya I know great picture huh? and coughing a bit

Well Mia is doing much better. Each day she gets better and better, the only thing now is her congestion. Poor baby can't blow her nose yet so I am constantly chasing her around with her snot sucker. Only recently has she been letting me suck out those boogies.. but I think its only because she realizes she can breath afterwards. We have her humidifer in her room at night and I rub baby VICKS on her before bedtime. She still gets real congested at night and snores alot but she is waking up less and less from it. Infact last night she only cried a couple of times.. compared to the every hour cry she was doing earlier in the week. She is becoming her active perky self again and is less and less whiney.. YAY! Thats a huge bonus for us!

Adrian (who I believe brought the bug home from the post office) is also doing better. He has finally stopped snoring and is sounding more and more like himself. He does still have his cough and congestion but he is doing ALOT better.

As for me, I am just at the middle part of the cold. I caught it later than both Adrian and Mia so they are a few extra days of recovery ahead of me. I had one of the worst sore throats I have had in years these past few days, however, today it has finally become mild. I am only on 3 hours of sleep due to the congestion in my sinus' and I am constantly blowing my nose. On the bright side of all of this, Adrian has been babying me and I am loving it. He has pretty much taken full charge of the baby and has been letting me get some rest. Hes been spoiling me and making sure I rest. Infact he is at the store right now for the second time, getting me MORE medicine and kleenox! I feel so loved!

Overall we are all on the ment finally... man this plague has been awful I am just glad its almost over!!
