Enema question for you guys

I had a little enema incident last night and would love to hear your thoughts on whether or not I made the right choice yesterday. Thanks!

So, last night I climbed into bed and used my coretenema and not 5 minutes later my younger son woke up with a terrible cough and congestion and being little in addition to young, there aren't a whole lot of medicinal options I can give him. I got up and took him to the bathroom put him in a hot shower with peppermint and eucalyptus oil to steam out his lungs and the congestion and barely made it to the toilet before I lost the enema. (it was very easy to see in the toilet). Once I got my little one back to bed I just grabbed another enema and used it, thinking at the time that it made sense since I held the previous one for all of 7 or 8 minutes. Now I am wondering if that was what I should have done. thoughts?

Phew! Thanks. Self doubt is the pits.

Me too! Would have just put in another :)

Thanks all.
Quincy, he is feeling a bit better, more productive cough today but woke up at 4 this morning with a fever. It hasn't come back since the first dose of Tylenol at 4, so I am hopeful that we have tuned the corner with this cold. Thanks for asking.

I hope his fever is done. Lots of fluids, steaming and some chicken soup ;). If you can get children's expectorant without antihistamine it will help.

How are you today?
