Victoria and Asa have had loose congested coughs after awaking each time the last week, nothing major, but noticeable. Also, Victoria does do some coughing during the day, but only occassionally. Neither complains of any illness. Asa also has that runny nose deal … it’s clear, which means nothing to me anymore. I’ve had cold and allergies and always was told “if it’s clear it’s an allergy, colds produce colored stuff”. Not in this family 😉 So dear three-year-old Asa has that clear sticky mess between his nose and his lip, and often that thumb is in his mouth, which means he ingests more of that stuff than if he didn’t suck his thumb.
So there’s a clue, he’s is sucking his thumb more lately, that’s for comforting himself, so it’s a silent symptom response. Too he’s not eating much, so there’s why … booger tummy halts desire to eat real food. Poor dear.
So, I had a bit of a scratchy throat when I woke up today, and it hasn’t gone away. I started to think about it just now finally, as I sit on my bed (where my laptop is when it’s cold out) and realized “I feel like a lump of …” whatever. Just ugh, don’t want to get up, feel heavy, you know — sick. 🙁
I felt alright the last few days, and with the other two exibiting symptoms, it didn’t get me motivated to do anything preventative in the rest of us. I’ve been dull of mind in this chillier time of year this year. 😉 Well, not really, it just sounds good.
Break out the Vit. C!
I’m planning homemade pizza for dinner, and with this scratchy throat, I’m balking. But I’m already committed to making it … 🙁
