Cold

Everyone in the family has a cold right now, including Ryan's mom. She's been breathing really heavily the last few days and it finally dawned on me last night at 3:45am, when I was up with my own sore throat, that she has a cold. So this morning I went in and found that she was drenched in sweat, and had a fever of 103.5 ~ not good. I put my nursing knowledge to work and gave her a double dose of an albuterol treatment I had leftover from the kids. I also gave her a tylenol suppository because she's not swallowing very well. Ryan is taking her suffering very hard, so I felt like I needed to step it up with extra comfort measures. If it is her time to go I want it to be as pleasant for her and Ryan as possible.
