Blessings!

We are all on the mend now...for the most part, but the bubbas are still sounding pretty sick. They are wheezing still and coughing/hacking. It's really sad.

I really just want them to get better, it's so hard to have them be so miserable. Tonight I put them in the bathroom on my lap and ran a hot shower with the door shut to make it steamy. Then I gave them a bath together which they loved for the most part. Once I got them out I started rubbing some vicks baby rapor rub on their chests...Jonathan was first, he didn't mind it and I put lotion on him and got him in his jammies. Then I rubbed some on Julian, started putting lotion on him, and then he started coughing. It was really scaring me! He would breath in just a tiny bit, enough to push out a cough! He kept doing it over and over for a few minutes and there is no way he was getting enough oxygen. He was bright red. It was freaking me out! I wasn't sure if my in-laws were home because they had gone to dinner or something. So I picked up my mostly naked baby (just a diaper) and wrapped him in a blanket. I was going to run to a neighbors house and ask for a blessing for him, but as soon as I ran out the front door Josh's mom was walking out her front door. So I knew she was home and ran over there. His dad hurried out and gave Julian a blessing while his mom was over at my house with the other kids (Josh was still at work)!

His coughing fit stopped and he started breathing so much better. Then my father in law came back home with me and gave Jonathan a blessing as well. Now they are laying on the couch, sound asleep! They are still coughing a little, but their breathing sounds so much better! I am so thankful for the preisthood and the blessings that my babies were able to receive tonight! I know it has helped them so much! :)
