A House Full of Sickies...

Tweet

A few weeks ago the entire house was sick, what's worse than that? The girls were miserable and couldn't breath, had so much congestion it was just not a fun time.

Thankfully Vicks came to the rescue. The first thing to do was make sure the girls were comfortable while they slept. The Vicks GermFree Humidifier was first on my list to drag out. Simple set up, easy to use and nice and quite while they sleep. There's two tanks, one on each side so that you know you're humidifier will work well past the night. There's also a patented UV light chamber that kills up to 99.999% of bacteria, mold and spores in the water vapor that enters the air. There's also a spot for the use of Vicks VapoSteam which is placed inside of a small cup on the top of the humidifier. The level of humidity is also controlled by a knob on the front of the humidifier which is great. I can see why pediatricians recommend running a humidifier to help sooth cough symptoms and clear up stuffed noses, the girls were sleeping soundly all night.

One of the things I love to use when the girls are sick is the Vicks Soothing Vapors, when you don't have the Vicks VapoSteam to place inside a humidifier the Soothing Vapors are great, they just plug into any wall outlet and give you the soothing vapors of Vicks as they clear your airways and let you sleep soundly. As a family when we're sick you'll find one of these in everyone's bedrooms. There's also a little green glow that comes along with it so it's great for a nightlight for a child's room. They're easy to refill and they come with 5 pads to start out with and each pad lasts up to 8 hours.

My newest love though has to be the Vicks Digital ComfortFlex Fever InSight Thermometer. I'm a worry wart and am always curious how high of a fever too high is, well now I don't have to worry about thinking when I take a temperature, this is also perfect for new parents who often worry about temperatures as well. The thermometer helps you determine when a fever is getting better or worse simply by the color changing display. The readings are very accurate and give you a reading in about 8 seconds. There's even a memory recall to help you keep track. This thermometer has given me a piece of mind and takes the worry out of taking a fever.

All these great advances in technology for when it comes to being sick, makes it just a little more comfortable and easy to bare.
