My MIL has the cure for sickness

in Success after IF

So during the whole period of Dillon's flu and diarrhea incident on Christmas Eve. I am holding him after his 23rd diaper change and MIL comes up to me (yes the same MIL who thought crab cakes was a good alternative to toast for the BRAT diet) and says "you know what I used to do for my boys when they weren't feeling good?" She really looked as if she were about to share some unknown wisdom.

I sat in anticipation of some herbal remedy from her homeland (she is from Portugal)

"A bath! Baths always made my boys better!"

Tongue Tied 

Gee thanks! I have not bathed him in the 5 days he has been sick, so would have never thought of that as a cure!  Stick out tongue

It makes me laugh when I think of it now.

A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

    Where the phrase "Liquid Gold" originally came from, I tell ya. Good for hangovers, teething, colds, coughs, and a bad case of the uglies. lol.
