Olivia’s 1st Cold - Part III
2009 February 27
We’re 5 days in with the antibiotics and it appears to be working. Both Olivia and her Dad are coughing up a storm. The nights are still tough. From about midnight on, her coughing fits come every 30 - 45 minutes or so. Each time the coughing starts, I pick her up and start hitting on her back in an attempt to help loosen up all that yuck in her chest. We’re continuing to sit in the steamy bathroom at least 3 times a day. Her voice is still not quite normal, but it’s getting better. I think we’ve turned a corner.
