Steam baths

In the past 24 hours Riley and I have spent a lot of time in the shower. We have probably taken 6 or 7 steam baths to help clear her airways. Today, she is much better. But yesterday was a different story.

All day long Riley had this pathetic cry that sounded like a newborn puppy. Her little lungs just couldn't muster the energy to go full blast, so she wined. It was pathetic. My mom came up from Columbia to help since Daddy is away on business most of this week. Thank God she was here because it was a bit chaotic last night. Between Jack's blatant refusal to go to sleep (not sure where that came from) to Riley's wheezing and shower time, doing it alone would have likely pushed me over the edge. But we made it. Mom dealt w/ Jack and I slept on the floor (air mattress) in Riley's room and listened to her wheeze most of the night.

Let's hope the coast is clear and my kids will be all better now. I hate sick kids. Let's just hope Daddy doesn't get it.

Until next time...
