In the span of 3 hours now, my child has gone from seemingly completely healthy to a runny faucet. What really gets to me is that he's been sooo healthy all winter, and now he's catching something when it is sunny and warm out. I know, I should be grateful. And I know I shouldn't blame the child with the runny nose at the small Easter egg hunt on Friday. I know that being around people means a risk for catching some virus, and that when they are young is when they develop the immunities to these viruses that protect them when they are older. But when my child has to wipe his nose 30 times an hour, and it is already looking raw, and I know this is going to last at least a full day, I'm mad. I'm even more upset when I know I'm starting to feel extra post-nasal drip, and it is Sunday, and Jeff goes to work tomorrow.
