How does Grace's cold manifest with her breathing apparatus? I guess she doesn't have the misery of suddenly not being able to breathe through her nose, but still, it must be specifically unpleasant. Because that's what colds are for.

Amy, did I mention NOAH ADDRESSED ME BY NAME? What? Only once or twice? Well, HE DID.

God, I have no sense of proportion.

ita, she blows a profound amount of gooey snot out of her trach. If we leave the HME on, it'll get clogged which makes it hard to breath. She also has a separately runny nose.

We use Grace's suction machine on Noah's nose when he's sick. In fact, I'll use saline and suction his nose. He also would like us to still use a bulb syringe but I think the suction machine is far superior. He especially prefers when he gets to be "Boss of the sucker."

Grace, on the other hand, has a dial-up-to-11 freakout over her nose getting suctioned. She was so pissed and distraught that her pulse spiked up to over 180 bpm.

AWFUL WRACKING JEALOUSY! Noah cutiecakes.
 
Also hello Gudanov and Erin and quester! I am in KC. Not stranded, though, just stopped for a half hour or so. On our way here I slept through this stop but it was really pretty coming in tonight.

::shuns ita and sniffs::

Kat, I would totally come! But I might have to bring along a certain newly seven-year-old, or she would never forgive me.

Liese, next year, thanksgiving! Come!

Also, January? Coming?

I could post full sentences but why?

Amy, you could totally do that. And go to Disneyland. IJS. I mean, my family doesn't do Disneyland, but you totally could!

I could post full sentences but why?

Dunno.

(See what I did there?)

HAHAHHAHA. Steph? Funny!

Oh, you know what Kat, I don`t know. I really want to, but we kind of overextended the finances this trip pretty severely, and I don`t know if we can afford NAMM. I still hope so, but we`ve got to let the dust settle and see where we are.
