Home Remedy: Potato Socks

Yes, I edited and reused a blog graphic,  (I got lazy!)
Now that that is out of the way. last night 3 out of 4 of us kept our potato socks on.  Noelle took them off sometime in the middle of the night, she does not like anything on her feet.
But Skyland, Azariah, and I kept our socks on until 10am.  I took pictures of the socks, and they just looked disgusting, so I refuese to post or describe them!
Noelle never had a fever.  But she still has a runny nose and a little cough.  
The boys woke up just fine.  No fever, runny noses, sneezes, or "icky" feelings.  They were actually on "go".  They have not stopped all day, and their appetite has returned! 
I woke up in a pool of sweat (ew) with no fever and no runny nose.  My cough, sore throat, and tight chest have stuck with me though,  I am a lot more sick than them, so I didn't expect to be magically "cured" from my cold, but I am pleased that a few of my symptoms are gone. And I'm estatic that all of  my boys' symptoms have dissappeared!

After removing the socks, I did not give the kids any medicine.  As of now (6:30pm), they have not had any symptoms return.  My conclusion: the potato socks help, especially with fevers! 
Next time we are sick, we may just become a human casserole and walk around with potatoes AND onions in our socks.
I'm going to slice some more up for me tonight.  I pray that I have not ruined onioms or potatoes for anyone!
