Coughing and more coughing

Ugh!! This whole building of the immune system sucks!! Truman came down with yet another fever last night, looong night of no sleep and a lot of snot and coughing:( It would be nice to get this month long set of colds under control!

So today instead of heading to Whidby for a parade both Truman and Grandpa were under the weather so when nap time rolled around Rodney and I loaded up Evelyn and Henry and went to the matinee show of Shrek 4 in 3D! It was pretty good, expensive but good... Since when does it cost $45 to take a family of 4 to a matinee??? Sheesh! But the time and experience and little catnap I took was worth every penny;)

Nighttime so far has been a bit challenging, Trumans coughing spout lasted almost 20min, gagging and everything...not fun! Trying vicks on his chest and feet, cold and hot air humidifiers (does that negate the positive aspects of both of them?) and warm apple juice... So far they have been less but the fever is definitely back, I'm betting in another ear infection but since we just got off the antibiotics for the last one i've been pushing the garlic oil in the ears and fever/pain reliever meds to combat the fever...going to give it to Tuesday before heading back to the Dr...AGAIN!

-could be another long night mama
