stuffy

Jonah was up all night screaming and coughing. He then woke up with an awful runny nose. AHH! He can't be sick! NOT NOW! His surgery is on Monday, so I have four days to bring him back to health! 
    Today has been the longest day. On top of having a little cold, Jonah suddenly has a diaper rash. He couldn't take a nap because he kept trying to rub his bottom (and breathe through his stuffy nose). I probably spent half an hour rubbing cream on his butt. It was so cute/funny to see him relax while I rubbed butt paste on his bum. In the end, I let him sleep commando, because he was THAT miserable. I'm starting to wonder if it's a yeast infection. 
So now, I'm finally sitting down, while he watches Blue's Clues, and once in a while looks at me and screams,tugs at his butt, and gives me that poor, miserable look with snot all over his face. 
   If only he could learn to blow his own nose. 
I'll just keep on suctioning.

That is so cute what a sweetie. I hope he's better soon! Have you tried giving him garlic oil? You can crush it up with vaseline and put it on his feet. I like Dr. Christopher's kid e well too. Both kills yeast that causes sinus problems and diaper rash!

He'll learn. Luke finally figured out how to blow his own nose and it is wonderful.
