Oh man - Dylan is having such a hard time breathing. And last night she started coughing and wheezing. Listening to her struggle breaks my heart! Marty and I took her to the doctors today - we were afraid we were overreacting but they said that if we couldn't slow her breathing and relieve some of her congestion, we'd have to take her to the hospital. Scary!! So they gave her an albuterol treatment in the office which helped. So we were sent home with instructions to saline and suction her nose every hour and give her an albuterol mask every 4 hours. And it's helping!! What a relief. WOW - only 5 weeks old and already causing her parents gray hairs.

In Switzerland, we have these specialists who massage babies to extract glare. A bit violent, but it totally works. You might look into this method for the future as cold season isn't over yet :-( Also, I don't know what brands they have in the U.S. for blowing the nose, but we have Prorhinel (by Novartis) who make a great one.
