Snot shooting machine

Hola from Kristin! The doctor came to the hotel and spent a half hour talking to us and checking over Josh. She read over his medical history so far as he had bronchitis and pneumonia in the past months. She declared this his lungs still sound clear- phew! He did have a fever today and she diagnosed him as having a bad cold. She prescribed Dimetapp, Tylenol, and saline spray for his nose. We made a follow-up appointment for next Monday. Josh sounds like a dragon when he's breathing but actually, he's in a pretty good mood. Chad and I are shocked by the amount of snot that is flying out of this little boy. We are both covered in strange sticky stuff and Josh seems to find it amusing. The doctor showed us how to give him the medicine, how to clean out his nose, and how to-yikes!- take his temperature. Enough said. We are certainly thrown into a new realm of parenting! We spent the day inside, propping Josh up and wiping snot. And Chad made a chocolate run- we earned it today!
