I told my neighbor about this. She's had a cough for several weeks. She laughed about it. But the next day she tells me it worked. That she had not had a good night in weeks. I filed the info away in my brain. <br /><br />Well last night, My 6 year old daughter who has asthma, woke me up from a sound sleep to the sound of her horrible cough. I am sure the dry air from the heater contributed. It was one of those coughs that meant the poor thing would get no sleep and her chest would be hurting by morning. I remembered your post and ran and got the Vicks. I moved her to my bed for the night and put quickly put it on the soles of her feet as instructed. By the time I was back from putting the Vicks away, I kid you not she was fast asleep and did not cough again all night. Not once. Is it a bit much to call this miraculous? Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! Thank you!!!! My lil one slept so peacefully thanks to you sharing this. We are grateful :)<br /><br />Merry Christmas.<br />Karinathasniftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17128110271645535326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-73201951911082596112010-12-12T05:32:03.506-06:002010-12-12T05:32:03.506-06:00Another great party-I remember vapor rub when my m...Another great party-I remember vapor rub when my mom used it on my chest-Hope your Holidays are going well!Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07714992345158779318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924158834708722465.post-90191647983393892722010-12-10T00:43:16.539-06:002010-12-10T00:43:16.539-06:00Oh darnit.
