In all these years of parenting small children I have learned a few things that you may find helpful.

*Unless there is a high fever, the doctor won't do much for cold and flu symptoms.

*Sometimes the best medicine is sleep.

*It's almost always better to catch vomit then to try to risk getting small children to a toilet, hence, always have a throw up cup close by.

*In my experience teaspoon of honey is just as effective as cough medicine and safer for children.

*Most sicknesses are best left alone to run their course. Manage symptoms when they are disrupting sleep patterns, and keep fevers and pain under control with tylenol.

*Put life on hold to nurture your family when it hits.  These are precious moments, don't waste them!
