Medicine Corner

We've dedicated a corner of our living room to Nicholas's equipment and we've dubbed it "the medicine corner."

Technically, he's not getting any medicine while there, but we hope he feels better when we're all done, like he does when he gets medicine. My wonderful friend, Lyndsey, gave Nicholas this owl bean bag chair last year for Christmas and it is getting lots of use, especially with Nicholas's cold. Yesterday we got a suction machine for him (on the left) and we've been using that and the cough assist (on the right) several times a day to keep his mucus at a minimum. Nicholas hasn't really taken to his "medicine corner," he cries whenever we head that way, but he always feels much better when he's all done.

Sad that he cries while heading there, but sooo cute at the same time :-)

We have a similar place. Love the bean bag, and wish we had one! Or two.

Can't wait for you to have the opportunity to suction yourself one day. When the whole family got colds, we left the suction on the counter and it was better than a box of Kleenex. We went through a LOT of nasal aspirator attatchments, though, because I made everyone have their own. But anyway, suction is something every house should have built into the walls and everyone should embrace. LOL!

Glad to hear that Nicholas doesn't seem to be hit too hard. Here's hoping he kicks this and is back to his healthy happy self very soon!
