Say if you were home alone by yourself and didn't have a gun or anything. If some rapist-murder guy breaks in what should you do? It would prob. take the police about fifteen minutes to get their. Do you hide somewhere? WHere? What would you do if someone broke into your house? Just wondering if this ever happens to me I need some ideas.
Steam. Take her into the bathroom, put a towel under the door between the floor door gap then tun on the shower. Sit with your daughter on the floor or on a chair. Read books, talk or watching a video or something on your phone. Just keep her entertained. Every now and then encourage her to take deep breaths. Make a game out of it. You do it and make a silly sound or something while you do it. Have her fill your chest so she feels it moving in as you breath. Then blow it all out. Again act silly make it game. If you want save the water you use just put a large bucket under the running water. My oldest use to get colds that went to her chest. We ended up having to get one of those Nebulizer things since it got bad. But we were still encouraged to us steam to help. Also keep the house air moist. We use to keep a humidifier in our kitchen, bedroom and upstairs. Now, we just have one for me in the master bedroom. I have a lot of sinus allergy problems. My husband's mom says her mom use to put a pot of water on their cast iron fireplace. She just put it on top of it and the fire heated up the water as it heated the house. She still does this every now and then. Someone else suggested I put a large pot on our stove filled with water and get to boiling then turn it off for awhile then boil it again. But it got to get a pain refilling it so often. Good luck. I have a lot chemical sensitives due to my chronic illnesses. I try hard not to take meds but often it doesn't work that way. lol But, I do learn a lot about home remedies that are chemical free and safe. We also try to not give our kids meds.
My daughter skated for 3 years and then started rollerblading within minutes of her first try.. I was a roller blader but have never mastered ice skates. The key to ice skates are the edges. (inner and outer edges) When you can perform a spiral, (or gliding arabesque), on rollerblades, you are doing it on a solid surface of nearly an inch. When you perform teh same move on a blade, it is much narrower and you are accounting for shifts in your balance by using your edges. It is not the same. Ice skating, in general, is more difficult. But it is a matter of perception.. like saying that french speakers can learn spanish easier than spanish speakers can learn french true for most, but not all. Don't give up, and start with a decent set of blades. (not the $40 pair of skates available in sports giants, and certainly NOT rentals!)
No worries. During the swine flu case in Hong Kong, I did hear that Immigration control was taking longer with certain Mexican or American visitors. They would ask more questions of you to make sure you would not be a risk, but no quarantine or nothing that overly burdensome.
