Poor possum :-(

Both DD2 and myself have had that happen in the past week but that was also during the worst of our colds. I've given DD2 a pillow and I'm propped up on three and it is helping a little. I also read that using Vicks Vapourub on the neck - so on the outside front of the throat (I'm sure there's a proper name, just too tired to figure it out!!!!) helps ease the airways too. I tried that on me the other night but I think I was too far gone for it to make a difference.
