Yeah I need to get a humidifier. I've been hesitant since I heard that they are breading grounds for bacteria...but it definitely sounds like a good idea since she is so congested. I might also try running the hot shower and bringing her into the bathroom. If you crack the bathroom window a touch it really helps with congestion. My parents used to do it with me when I was a kid and I remember telling them once that I wanted to sleep in the bathroom because I felt so much better. :)

So sorry to hear that you guys are getting over two of the nastiest bugs around. Rotavirus isn't a walk in the park and I know that conjunctivitis is pretty nasty. Were your/Owen's eyes glued shut in the morning? That part aways sucked. blah.

Lia is on her 3rd nap of the day...all of which she put herself to sleep for without any intervention. I have enjoyed a day of seeing the other rooms of our house. I actually like the color of the walls in the living room quite a bit during daylight.  ;) I'm crossing my fingers that things continue to go down this path. We'll see as only time will tell.

I hope you have a good night sleep. I'm sure I'll be back to post again soon. BTW...I clicked on your Thank You. I've been so thankful for all of your support.

Hey there Alessia!

How are things going?  I hope well!  About the humidifier, we have a cool mist one, the part the water goes in has a large opening so you can get your hand in there and clean it well.  The other parts all come apart and are easy to clean as well... lemme find it: http://www.toysrus.com/sm-vicks-1-2-gallon-cool-mist-humidifier--pi-2266321.html - its very similar to this.  The key with these is to clean them frequently.  I clean it every other day with antibacterial soap, we used it all year, every sleep.

Anyhow!  I hope you are well and things are going binkie-free.  Let me know!
