First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA!! We had breakfast to celebrate her birthday yesterday morning, then went shopping and found FABULOUS sunglasses. A good way to kick off a birthday weekend!
The kids are all sick with a bad cold. I woke up this morning feeling less than great, too... So far Brent is ok, he's been working the day shift so he's gone before the kids wake up and home after they go to bed--not a bad thing when they're sickies! I'm going to give them baths with vapor bath wash later this morning--hopefully that will clear their sinuses a little and help them breathe. Today might be a "quilt-on-the-floor-watching-Elmo" kind of day...

They have a thing called vapor bath wash?!?! Where has that been all this winter?! My boys are sick right now too with a nasty cough and a runny nose that won't quit...poor Camden has caught and will catch anything that comes our way...it has been a rough winter for us...I must find this bath wash! and Pronto!!
Jen, this stuff is the BEST! I have the "Johnson's Soothing Vapor Bath" brand, but I've seen it in other brands, too. IT WORKS WONDERS! It's like taking a bath in Vicks Vaporub...not the most desirable smell, but whatever works, right?! I put a big squirt (probably 4-5 capfuls) into the tub while the water's running, and it foams up like bubblebath. I don't use any on their washcloths--I just let them soak in the water. The whole room gets steamy and vapor-y. It clears their little heads right up! Sometimes I do give them a bath in it 2-3 times/day when they're really congested.
I've also been rubbing Vicks on their chests and back at night, which has worked great. I've also put it on their feet and put feet-y pajamas on, which supposedly helps their cough. (Old wive's tail? I'm not sure, but it works GREAT for me when I have an annoying cough that's keeping me awake at night. Vicks, socks and zzzzzz...).
Sorry you have the "crud" at your house, too!!!
Thank you so much for helping me yesterday! I did end up finding some at Walgreens! Gave the kiddos a bath last night in it and Camden slept WAY better than he has been and they both seem less "snotty" YAY for vapor bath!! :-) Oh and I LOVE that smell so it was fine for me...lol! I'm weird, I know!
Oh and I did the vaporub on Camden on his chest back and feet too, just like you suggested! :-)
Sorry to hear you've got the crud at your house. It's definitely going around. We're all a little under the weather, but nothing too serious so far (knock on wood)! ;-) Hope you're all doing better now.
