Ellie has a bad cold. It started out last weekend when Troy was out of town and she is still feeling yucky. After several nights of being up with her, trying a couple different medicines, I decided to try the "natural" route. I've had several friends share with me the healing powers of garlic and they gave me some ideas to try. Around lunchtime I made some garlic poultices and applied them to her chest and feet. Then after naptime she had a warm bath with another garlic poultice. For dinner, in addition to her other food, I gave her another clove disguised in applesauce and a little honey just for added power. I'm taking larger doses of vitamin C too since I'm still nursing her a couple times a day. Hopefully all that combined will make a difference and my baby can get some sleep tonight. She found a pacifier in the baby doll toys and decided she liked it...isn't she sad looking when she's sick?
