Runny (5-minute Freewrite)
I dislike runny nose whether it is on me or my children. Having a runny nose is not fun at all, you have to constantly wipe it off and sniffing away while doing your normal daily routine. Hence, I always pray that any runny nose quickly runs away.
My children laughed the first time they heard this term 'runny nose'. With their imagination wild and free, they find the scene of a nose running is hilarious. Wait till they get any cold and have a runny nose. Usually, the younger the children, they suffer more if they get a cold. The runny nose is irritating enough, on top of that, toddler hasn't learned to skill to clear the nose mucous, so when they sleep at night, it got stucked inside, causing them breathing difficulty. To make things worse, mummy used the nasal suction trying to suck out the mucous. What a nightmare to young children!
Jansen went through suctioning since young. It was one of the many procedures he had to go through at hospital daily. Because his lungs had not reached the maturity to expand to expel any mucous, suctioning was THE best way to clear his airway. Doctors did not want him to be deprived of proper oxygen intake.
And I hate this procedure on him. Small tubes would be inserted into his nostrils right until the chest area and suctioning began. After nostrils, the tube would be inserted via his mouth. If the secretion was runny and clear, it was good. But if the secretion was thick and yellowish, they would send it to be lab to check for any possible infection. Praise God he does not need it now. Yay!
Are you ready? I am going to change my route of thoughts soon. From runny nose to...

Lol, yes we hate runny nose but loveeeee runny egg yolks! It's rainy these days so keep warm and don't let the nose run like a tap!
It is nice to tug in our comforter during rainy days. Cosy. Yes don't let the nose run like a tap:)
I cannot imagine anything harder than this! Sigh...
Bless us all :) thank you @fitinfun for supporting.
I am sure somebody sticking the tubes down the nose and mouth is not a pleasant experience by any means, but your boy is champ. And, he can get through anything. :)
Glad he did not need to send anything to the lab this time. And, running nose can be little irritating but if you look at and know it is just your body protecting itself it takes another meaning. Get it out of there MY BODY. hehe :)
Have a great day, my friend. :)
Hi my friend @awakentolife. How is your father?
Oh yes I tried once to challenge myself to put the tube in my nose just to try to understand how my son feels. But I chicken out. Too scared.
Yes that is one way our body traps the germs using the mucous. Am teaching him how to blow nose now but he still could not.
Glad to see you here. Thank you for stopping by.
I'm very happy that your son does not need that procedure done anymore. You and Jeff would get along very well since you both like runny egg yolks LOL. Have an egg citing day

As a mother of 3, I can relate to this post!
And eggs with runny yolks - my niece baffled me with a request for "Dip Eggs." What the heck are Dip Eggs? Runny yolks so you can dip your toast in! She seemed to wonder what planet I come from, but I wonder where SHE came from, 'cause I've heard nobody else say that. My dad likes his eggs "Walking, not running," which is exactly how I like 'em, or did, before learning I'm allergic to milk AND eggs AND gluten.
No comment on the suctioning and siphoning of toddlers.....!!! Eeek! Been there.
Oh yes I dip my toast in runny egg yolks. Guess we all do come from different planets hehe. My warmest regards to you and your 3 bundle of joys. 💓
