A bright spot during a frustrating time was teaching the kids to finger knit today. I really got the idea because Charlotte needed something to do and she just loves crafts. After a few minutes everyone else wanted to give it a try as well.
At the end of last week Silas came down with a cold which he quickly shared with Ella and me. Ella has viral induced asthma so she's having a rough time with her cough and has to use an inhaler everyday (normal when she gets a cold). I'm fighting it, hoping it doesn't settle into my lungs again, forcing me to take antibiotics and steroids again and hoping Ella gets over it quickly. I'm using Doterra essential oils - rubbing Oregano and Onguard on our feet twice a day. I'm also putting Oregano, Lemon, Melaleuca, and Peppermint in a mug of hot water and then I breathe in the steam a couple times a day. And I made a blend with Onguard, Oregano, Lemon, Melaleuca, and Frankincense (in a carrier oil) that I put on Silas' feet, neck, and chest a few times each day. I'm definitely seeing improvement in him and I think the oils are shortening the duration of his cold. It's frustrating to be sick again after just a couple weeks with nobody coughing around here! Lord willing, we'll be well again soon.
