Baby vac

A couple of years ago I went to one of e's doctor's appointments.  The pediatrician mentioned a device called Baby Vac, a plastic tube and reservoir affair that you connect to your vacuum cleaner in order to suction your baby's nasal passages.  E and I laughed, even while grimacing at the thought, but he assured us it worked.  So E bought one and used it on e.  Now it's ec's turn.  The poor guy has had a runny nose for quite a while, so E pulls out the vacuum daily for a treatment, sometimes more than one.  It's a two-person job because ec doesn't just lie still saying," It's OK, Mom, I know this will help me breathe better."  But it is effective.  Someday he will learn to blow his nose by himself and the Baby Vac will not be needed.  Until then he will get relief with this device.
