Can't we just get well?

Friday night was a nightmare. Both children started coughing again - no big deal, right? But Lucy coughed so much in her sleep that she started throwing up and then Tarver was so congested that he couldn't sleep. To complicate the matter, we were at my in-laws' house, without all our own things - including a bath tub. We put Lucy in the shower instead. 

Saturday morning, we all woke up groggy and quite sick. 

Saturday afternoon, Lucy's eyes started weeping tears and mucus. Closer inspection revealed a slight pinkness to her eye. Pink eye. Great.

Saturday night/early Sunday morning was pretty bad. When the kids' medicine wore off, they were coughing so horribly that I woke up and administered more while they slept through it.

I'm exhausted. And the lack of sleep made it possible for my immune system to shut down and now I'm sick too. 

I'm so tired of sniffles and sneezes at this house!!!

zinc & echinacea/goldenseal work wonders! natural immune system boosters:)(they're even in the walmart vitamin section). i don't know about using it for kiddos, but for you definitely.
best of luck!
