How Does it Do That???

So has everyone already heard about the wonders of this little tub when it comes to stopping your kids' cough? Goes like this: If your child has a persistant cough, keeping them (and you) awake at night, then rub Vicks VapoRub on the bottom of their feet, put socks on them, and the coughing will STOP! They (whoever "they" are) were claiming that this was instant, and 100% full-proof. Quite a claim! So on the last round of coughs we went through around here, we tried this on Abby........and it didn't do squat. Although I didn't use very much on her feet, and I didn't put her in socks since I figured her sleeper was good enough. Oh well, we tried. I knew it was too good to be true. Sigh...

Well she again has a cold and BAD cough, so I thought I'd give ol' Vicks another chance to prove his worthiness to me. Andy really rubbed a thick amount on the bottoms of her feet and then we did put socks on like we were suppsed to. And do you know what? The difference was AMAZING!!! Her cough wasn't 100% gone, but more like 90%, which is good enough for me! Wow! I have no idea how it works, but it does so I guess I shouldn't question a good thing. I guess it also pays to do things the way they tell you to. (thick layer and use socks) So, the moral of my rambling is: Try it! And use it the way they say and you will be sooo happy you did. I'm telling you, a restful, peaceful nights sleep makes a world of difference for everyone! Yeah Vicks! :)
