The Flu

We're being visited by the flu. Just Kaiya, at the moment, and let's hope it stays that way. Though, it's been very difficult keeping little sisters away today. They want to climb in bed with her and try to sip her tea.

I'm reaching into my 'Kitchen Apothecary' pinboard to find some herbal remedies to deal with all the aches and pains and fever.

A rub for easy breathing.

Tumeric chai tea to attack the virus. She actually really liked the taste of this. Which is great because apparently tumeric is a super spice.

Of course, the little girls had to have tea, too. Chamomile, anyone?

But most importantly, plenty of rest. She's sleeping now, and I hope all night.

We've gotten by, so far, with only using the nebulizer twice. Asthma tends to lurk nearby when this little one gets sick. So, if you have a moment, I would be ever so grateful if you would send some positive, healing vibes this way. Hope you're all well, my friends!
