Micah still sick...

[Gina]

Haley, So sorry he still not feeling well.. I guess claritin is like Dimeatapp was when my kids were little. I hear that it is no longer good for anyone some ingredient in there , I read it on a list of medicine ciruculating through the internet. But back then the doctor always told me to give that to my children when they were congested.

I hope you nip it now, and he is feeling much better soon. Poor little guy, while your giving him hugs give an extra one from me....

He definitely needs the cool vaporizer. The vapor bath is also good. Does he do a shower (with you or dad)? You can also put the vapor thing in the bottom of the shower.

Hope he feels better soon. My two year old granddaughter has some allergies too - at least that is what they think. It can be frustrating

Haley, our youngest, Melissa, has had alergies since she was really small, but never had ear infections. We would use the vaporizer and as Gina said, at that time Dimetapp was the thing. Claritin is really good, also. Vapor Rub on her chest seemed to help, also. We were up with her many a night when she was small. We visited the piney woods of East Texas when the pine trees were blooming one year when she was about 2 years old. There was pine pollen everywhere, and she got really stuffed up from that. I spent the day in bed with her giving her antihistamines and tylenol trying to help her to feel better. It's no fun at all.

She did handle it better as she got older, but in the spring and fall of each year, we had a couple of months of alergy problems. She lives in the Austin area now, and has even more problems there with all the cedar trees, but she's old enough to be able to deal with it on her own now.

So hope he gets to feeling better and better. The Claritin seems to become more effective after being on it for about 2 weeks. It's not a quick fix. Seems it has to get into your system a bit.

Hope it went well last night and he got all of those hugs.

No it didn't go good last night, didn't even think about daycare having that damn cat!!!!! He was all stuffed up again last night, i think its the cat!!!.... he was cranky and miserable.. I might have to find a nother new daycare for Micah!! I'm going to see how he is this weekend, if he's not suffy. or nose running then i know for sure he is allergic to cats... She puts the cat upstairs when the kids are there but still,, i even forgot she had that cat til i called Mike and he said it might be the cat they have.. My mother even thinks its the cat... might be...
oh crap,,, im going backwards instead of forwards here... I told her at daycare today to make sure that cat is far away from my child and she said its always upstairs when the kids are here..

[donna1990]

I just can't believe that a daycare center could have cats.

I am allergic to cats.. its their dander... Even if a cat is put away but it roams there at other times.. The cat hair is around.. Don't want to upset you but that can be your problem.... Give him a hug and kiss from me.. Poor little guy..
