sickness abounds

Well, it's here.  Our family fall sickness.  Working in healthcare I get all kinds of bugs...and this respiratory bug has hit D and I hard.  We have been syrup medicine queens, and today I decided I would try some of Boiron's Chestal homeopathic cough syrup.  http://www.boiron.com/
I am really trying to make our house healthy, and not just against germs!  I realized that pink, syrupy, strangely pink colored medicine I have been pouring down our throats may not be so great for us...even if it does make D sleep!  So I am employing my knowledge and we are going to try to heal the immune system, instead of just knocking back the crud.
We had apples for lunch, which are good anti-mucous, and just had our first dose of the Chestal.  We both curled our lip, and I offered D some water to wash it down, and she said "ewwww, it's yucky...but it will make my cough better." 
So there you have it, out of the mouth of my babe.
Wish us luck, and if you please...leave me some comments so I know people are out there.  Feels a bit lonely in here at times!
