We are all sick with runny noses and sore throats. Even Aeden has been working through some upper respiratory tract congestion.
While Telia's bouncing step is temporarily stymied (except if she's running for the Kleenex box), let it be known that we are NOT beaten by this cold! In fact, the Anderson household has set the terms of its offensive strike on the insidious germs that have dared to desecrate its holy walls.
Anderson 6 Point Strategy (to annihilate the microscopic badguys that have us sniffling)
1.) Strict bedrest for the duration of 0800 of 5.16.2008 to 0800 of 5.17.2008
2.) Vitamin C and insane amounts of water. Since its a water soluble vitamin that is easily metabolized, we are going WAY overboard on the RDA. Can you say 10,000% of the recommended daily value? We are bolstering our immune response with the likes of "Emergen-C" "500 mg tabs" and "copious amounts of orange juice" (don't worry, we don't have a history of gastric/peptic ulcers)
3.) Echinacea. Let it be the tea we drink and the capsule we take 6x daily!
4.) Frequent handwashing. Don't worry we have plenty of hand lotion to protect against dryness and cracking.
5.) Soup on the 2 hr interval. Chicken noodle, Beef n' Veggie, Veggie, Lentils and Organic chicken noodle.
6.) Puffs tissues with Vicks scent. Simply the best. They are so good they will make you wish you were sick.
We are confident that our 6 point offensive will adequately prepare us to meet the upcoming challenges of cross-country travel that imminently await us ... please keep us in your prayers as our immune systems catch up with our aspirations.
