The past seven days have held a number of firsts for Ena. Her first apples. Her first broccoli (which she did not like - we will keep trying). Her first unassisted sitting. Her first roll from back to tummy. And, her first cold. E and I both got sick after he went to Kitimat for the drama zones. Gone for four days, none of us got much sleep. E was busy monitoring his students, trying to make sure that they didn't do any of the stupid things we all do when we are teenagers. I was busy trying to get Ena to sleep. She was busy trying to keep from sleeping. We were all so run down it was really just a matter of time before we became ill.
Ena has been the last of our lot to get the cold. E and I are almost runny nose free but Ena is still suffering. This past weekend she had a couple of terrible nights, whimpering and waking regularly. We finally decided to give her some children's tylenol and it did seem to help. Because she can't breathe through her nose properly she has been drooling like crazy. We have to keep putting fresh bibs on her to keep her dry. She's also been a bit grumpy and who can blame her? I hope that she gets over it soon. For all our sakes.
