A little sickie

Quinn's had some minor sniffles before but this is a full-on cold. Mucousy cough, very stuffed up nose, *very* runny nose. Even a minor nosebleed, which caused some consternation - hopefully increasing the humidity in the house curbs that. This illness came out of the blue - he wasn't showing any signs of anything all day yesterday, but as he went to bed there were a few signs, and there were signs in spades this morning.

Telehealth Ontario is a great thing. This is probably not a case where we would have gone to a doctor, but it's nice to have the reassurance of being able to talk to somebody. I'm sure our emergency rooms have been filled with such naturally concerned parents.

Quinn is sedate and a little clingy but still in pretty good spirits. He can still laugh with proper prompting and point at things. He's a better sickie than me I think!
