Right when we got back from our big trip, Kaden came down with his first cold. His nose was all stuffy, he had an awful cough, and he ran a fever for a couple of days. He was, generally, pretty miserable. The stuffiness and cough prevented him from getting a good night's sleep, so it took him a long time to fight the little virus. Sleepless nights were had by all - Kaden and I slept in the guest bedroom (so that I could clap his back when he got in a coughing fit), and Dad ran in every time he heard a fit lasting longer than ten seconds. Poor guy tried to smile through it all - sweet little pitiful smile as it was. His nose is still a little runny and every now and then he gives a little cough, but I think he is on the mend. His big blue eyes are bright and sparkly again...and his smile isn't so pitiful.
Note about the video: the nose bulb wasn't doing the trick so we found the Nosefrida at Whole Foods. It doesn't actually go in Kaden's nostril so it was less irritating and, since I was the one controlling the suction, it seemed to work a whole lot better. Not that Kaden liked either one.
