wish you had some sort of emergency alert system system for your kids when they are sick at night. I don’t think that’s what they would be called, but a monitor of some type? I know they have them for newborns. I worry so much when Christiano is sick and little like this. I even worry about Alyce. They are both having so much trouble breathing while they are sick and I always worry that something will happen in the middle of the night and I won’t hear it. It’s my little thing that keeps me from sleeping well when they are sick and why I was up at 5 this morning. Christiano just sounded horrible. He couldn’t sleep well either, so all night we were up off and on. He couldn’t nurse because he couldn’t breathe and the nose sucker wasn’t doing the job we needed done. And of course with the FDA saying don’t give kids under 6 cold medicine, what do you do? My dr told me I could give it to Alyce awhile ago when she was sick. But he’s never told me to give it Christiano and there are no doses on the bottles for little guys like him. They just have to suffer it out.

Sorry to hear the kids are so sick. We keep my son in our bed because for the longest time he got bloody noses at night and it was just easier that way. My other daughter has febrile seizures so I slept with her for a year until I knew she wasn’t going to have any more. It makes you crazy…but you gotta do what you gotta do. I’ve always found the nasal drops to help a lot with stuffy noses. I even use them. They are short term, and the kids don’t like it at first, but it tends to do the trick. I get pretty bad stuffy noses and I take every over the counter allergy med available and sometimes they just don’t work. The nasal drops (or saline drops) seem to give me some relief at the worst times. It might only work for an hour, but I’m always using the kid version, so that might be why. My middle daughter always had a really bad cough when she was about 2 and they doctor’s gave her a prescription cough medicine. This was right before they said No Cough Meds to little kids, though. And now they won’t prescribe it. Humidifiers always help too, but you have to watch the levels because if it’s too high, mold can actually grow. We had that happen recently. We were running the humidifier about 12 out of 24 hours a day to help with the bloody noses. Got rid of the bloody noses, but mold started showing up on the walls. If it’s not one thing, it’s another! Good luck!!
