Steve has been miserable with a cold for the past three days--stuffy, congested, coughing, feverish, you know the ordeal. It's actually been a refreshing change for me to be the one comforting him, rather than the other way around, as it's been for the past...oh, forever, it seems. However, I still would rather have him feeling better than get to practice my "nursing" skills on him.The night before last, he couldn't sleep at all. It was miserable with him constantly waking up coughing, sneezing, or having to clear his head, so between his terrible sleep habits and me having to constantly either shift positions or get up to go to the bathroom, we were not exactly a peaceful couple. So, we decided yesterday to purchase something that changed our lives.....we bought Ny-Quil and nasal spray.
Oh, Ny-Quil and nasal spray, I thank you for the comfort and sleep you brought to my poor, aching, tired husband. He took the recommended dosage right before we read scriptures and was gone the instant we turned out the light. Now, this didn't really affect my sleeping....I was still as uncomfortable as ever. However, it was FABULOUS to talk to him today and realize that he got the rest he needed to feel more like himself again. Now I just need to find something that works safely for pregnant women with heartburn and leg cramps!! :)
