cold water medicine

For some reason, Ro accords medicinal and healing properties to cold water. If any of us have any sort of ailment, Dr. Ro prescribes rest and cold water. We all contracted colds around Thanksgiving and Simone still has an annoying, lingering cough. It's like she's had three consecutive colds or something. She doesn't cough very often, only like 3X per day, but when she does cough, it sounds absolutely terrible. Even Ro notices how bad it is. So, while they were in the bath tonight, he insisted on filling cups with cold water from the tap and then spoonfeeding it to Simone in an effort to improve her cough. He used her teeny tiny teaset spoon, so it took a long time to get through a cup of water but Sim ate up every drop like an eager baby bird. They were so cute. I wish I had video of it but both kids stop being cute anytime I grab the camera now. Even more weird, her cough was better the next day.
