Cold....

Yes, I think I may be coming down with something again:-(  I have had a runny nose all day and was in bad shape this morning.  I woke up early trying to cough out some congestion and my oxygen levels were very low and my heart rate was through the roof.  Mommy gave me an albuterol nebulizer and that didn't work, then she gave me some Versed and that didn't work, then we hopped in the tub and finally that worked!  There is something about the steam and warm water that just relaxes me.  Mommy and Daddy need to get a big hot tub installed in the back yard so we can spa day every day:-)

I got out of the tub and Brody was helping Mommy get me all lotioned up which, if you know Mommy and her lotions, that took a while!  Brody even brought me Oinky to hold on to and my quilt to keep me warm while we finished getting dressed.  I love my big brother.

The rest of the day we battled my congestion, but so far no fever which is good.  I didn't eat much today so we will need to watch my heart rate tonight and really work on the fluids tomorrow.  I got to spend an hour this afternoon without my NG tube and as usual I loved it and Mommy didn't want to put it back in.  She even stuck her finger in my mouth for the first time in a long time to see if I would suck on it, but it was a no-go.  My brain just can't tell my mouth to suck, so she had to put the tube back in.  It was worth a try.

Daddy's on duty tonight so I plan to be on my best behavior.  I suckered Mommy into letting me sleep in the bed last night and I was a true angel.  We'll see if Daddy falls for my puppy dog eye trick when he tries to put me in my bassinet.  Stay tuned.
