...when your one week old gets a cold.
Step 1: Cry
Step 2: Lament your inability to make super-bug preventing milk which must relate to your inadequacy as a mom
Step 3: Cry again at such a thought
Step 4: Call Mom with mad respiratory therapist skills
Step 5: Cry on phone with mom who has mad-mom skills.
Step 6: Steam bathroom for 1/2 hour to help your sweet baby breath a little better
Step 7: Watch with rapt attention while mom shows proper suctioning skills.
Step 8: Cry when one week old firmly protests such an activity
Step 9: Drink more water to replenish loss of fluids
:( We'll pray she gets better, and that you don't get sick too! Katie is on her second cold in three weeks, so we feel your pain. At least I've gotten to be a pro suctioneer (our pediatrician had to demonstrate for me).
ReplyDeleteOH NO!! :( boo. Praying you all get some rest.
