The girls have been sick on and off now for what seems like months. So today we took them to the dr. and got them on antibiotics. Anyway, tonight I got out the saline and bulb in an effort to flush out the gunk and went to Allie. Flushed her nose, no drama. Addison---different story.
After completely losing my patience and nearly pinning her to the bed and squirting the saline up her nose, I felt nothing short of hideous. I even knew it at the time, which made it worse. I felt mean.
So, as she was crying, I picked her up in my arms and stood and rocked her back and forth. We didn't talk, but, as she was exhausted, she was soon fading off. All the way to sleep, and I laid her down. I hope that comforted her more than it has me. I just feel terrible.
