The Unwanted guest

Lilly and my son both have colds. Lilly doesn't really have a runny nose, but I can hear a lot of congestion in her. She spit up several times today (spitting up is actually pretty unusual for her) and it was mainly mucus. Saline drops and the bulb syringe just don't seem to be able to reach the junk. We sat under a blanket with a pot of boiling water for awhile. I think the steam helped some. I know it's just a "common cold" but it makes me a bit nervous with Lilly. Colds can be epecially rough for Trisomy 18 children.

In spite of her cold, Lilly was happy most of the day. Quite chatty at times, and seemed to especially enjoy tummy time on the quilt.
