Some of you may have read that we brought Isabella (age almost 4 1/2) home less than three weeks ago. She's our granddaughter and will be with us indefinitely. She's adapting to life with us quite well all things considered and is SO excited about meeting Mickey Mouse and all the gang. But this morning the little sniffle she's had has turned into a raging cold. Both my husband and I succumbed earlier so I should have seen this coming. She alternately has a stuffy then a drippy nose. She's draining down her throat and has a barky seal cough. My son Jeff and his fiancee, Thea, were here for the weekend so Thea called her dad, an ER physician. He gave me the correct dosage of Tylenol Cold and told me to make sure to dose her 1/2 hour before flying, give her things to chew and swallow during takeoff and landing, plenty to drink in the meantime, lots of rest, etc.
Anything else I should do to help her feel better on the flight and during the trip? I'd appreciate any advice. It's been 21 years since I've had a 4 year old in the house and my "mommy medical info" is a bit out of date.
Thanks,
Mary Alice
