Sick Again

Just when I thought Hayden was getting over her cold her rash started, which turned out to be allergies (oh and by the way Zyrtec usually makes children drowsy, but Hayden happens to be the 2% of kids that it makes hyper, she didn't take a nap during the day for 2 days!) and now that we have the rash under control her cold came back! Last night she woke up at 10pm and her nose was so stuffed. So we pulled out the aspirator again and went to work. The only problem was it wasn't getting anything out. Paul kept saying, "huh, I guess there is nothing in there" as she is struggling to breath. I finally look at the aspirator only to see a whole in it. Luckily we have great neighbors who let us borrow theirs last night (after boiling it of course). She slept an awesome 12 hours, but then woke up to sealed shut eyes. So I took her to the Dr. again just to make sure it was normal to be congested for 3 weeks. He said she probably had a back to back virus and to keep her hydrated and use the saline rinse. As he examined her he kept saying how strong she was as she thwarted his attempts to look inside her ears and throat. I'm glad I'm not the only one that struggles to hold her down, she is seriously strong!
