Elliott's First Cold

First Cold

 

I heard Elliott coughing in the middle of the night 2 nights in a row and figured it was only a matter of time before he started showing signs of a real cold.  He woke up Friday morning all stuffed up, red watery eyes, and a pretty nasty cough.  I turned on the shower and took him into the bathroom so the steam could break up the mucus a little bit.  Monique made us a warming pack (brown rice in a baggy sewn into some fabric and warmed up in the mircrowave, works like a charm) and she kept it on his chest a couple times during the day to also help break things up.   He didn't seem to be too bothered by the cold, other than the occasional cough.
