We officially have our first family cold. Each day that Boo hasn't been sick I've counted myself lucky and dreaded that first illness. Last week he had a bit of a cold & now I'm in the middle of it. Husband is showing early signs. I haven't taken cold medicine in 17 months. I'm near the end of weaning so I decided today , a work day, to risk it for some relief from my clogged head. I gave Boo some homeopathic treatment and he was done with it in one day. Of course, our luck was that it was timed with two incoming teeth (8 at 8 months!).
I'm trying desperately to avoid the now-epidemic gastro before our trip at the end of next week. I just don't think a puking, diahhretic baby is good to have in the close confines of a airliner. However, the map gives me the feeling that the odds are not in our favor.
