"Mommy, Maybe I'm sick"

Some cute pictures of our sick little princess that grandma took last month at a ball game.

"Mommy, maybe I'm sick". This is what Aspen had to say about 4:00 am this morning as she woke up from one of her fits of couphing. This after 2 hellish nights of trying to get some sleep and keep her from couphing her lungs out. Actually the hellish night started about a week ago but the last two have been extremely bad. We did find out that if we give her the steroid the doc prescribed right before she goes to bed it will help her sleep better and lasts the majority of the night. We have tried a midnight shower, a 2:00 am sleep in the recliner and breathing the steam off of boiling water at 2:30 am. (that one didn't work so well, because when I tried to show her how to put her face over it she said, "mommy, don't put me in there".) That stopped that. I'm hoping the medication (antibiotic) will start kicking in anytime, she's been on it for 2 days. What a trooper, It sure would be nice if the nice government hadn't taken all the couph medicine for small children off the shelves.
