Thank you to everyone who chimed in about neti pots and NeilMed Sinus Rinse!
I opted for the rinse:
Yeah, I was too chicken to try the neti pot thing. The thought of not tilting my head at the exact right angle and possibly gagging on a mixture of burning salty water was just too much for me to handle. For some reason, I'm not afraid to use a reciprocating saw but I am terrified of all things medical. Just sitting in the waiting room at the doctors office is guaranteed to trigger a "number three".
But my head just won't stop hurting, and my equilibrium is all messed up, so I forced myself to try the rinse.
After several failed attempts, I finally got the saline/water mixture to go all the way in, through, and out my nasal passage three times.
I'm still feeling pretty bad, but I'll try "flushing" again later tonight and we'll see what happens. Don't you know I'm just counting down the minutes 'til I have to stick that thing up my nose again. I can feel it staring me down from across the room as I type.
But enough about me and my stuffy head.
Thanks to all the great comments you left us about our "Wish", I had Kevin run back to the flea market and scoop up his brother so that we could give it away here on our blog this weekend:
So if you'd like to enter for a chance to win your very own Wish, just leave a comment on this post by noon (central time) on Sunday, January 10th.
Good luck to all those who enter!
Layla :-)

LOVE the "wish"! Hope the neti pot helps you feel better; I have heard wonderful things about it but not tried it myself.
I hope you are feeling better! I will have to try that stuff!
Love the fish, could use a wish!
love the name --- "wish"...
by the way, I loooove the white flower farmhouse --- after your Christmas-time post, I ended up buying a ton of stuff from them! It was like everything I ever wanted in my house! :P too funny...
I want one!
love the wish, would love to win!
In the midst of carpools and soccer games the one thing that I always look forward to is sitting down with a great cup of coffee and reading your blog. Your house is so beautiful. I love the fact that you and Kevin are doing all "on a dime".
I too love the beachy look- I have the perfect place for those "wish" fish.
Get well soon! I love the Wish. It's so cute!
love the wish too! hope you're feeling better and I'm with you my husband swears by the netipot but I can't ever bring myself to use it!
Oh I love that little "wish"! thought you might be interested in a giveaway over at my blog, it would go perfectly in your bathroom! :)
You're braver than I am! I don't do up-the-nose treatments.
Everytime I see your "Wish" I suddenly get the strongest hankering for gold fish crackers! I think he'd have to go in my kitchen so I could grab a handful everytime I saw him! ;)
Love the wish and I hope you feel better - I am suffering with the same thing. I know the Netti Pot looks scary but it works and if some happens to go towards your throat you just have to spit!!
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I love the wish!
Hope you feel better! I was nervous the first time with the Neti too!
I LOVE the "wish"! Super cute! I'd definatly love to have him in my room! :)
I wish for a wish!
Feel better!
The wish is soooo cute! Get better!
The wish is soooo cute! Get better!
Hope you feel better soon.
I have no idea how someone could actually use one of those neti pots. I know I couldn't do it, ick!
The "Wish" is so sweet! I hope you choose me.

Love the WISH! You get better!!!
Love the wish fish!
I wish for a fish that I can put on a dish! It would look good in our bookcase!
Love the Wish, NEED the Wish!
Here's a tip on the neil med (my mom got them for everyone this Christmas and made us all do it!) Make sure your mouth is open. It really helps and use distilled water. Hope that helps!
My husband uses the sinus rinse and it has really helped him, hope you feel better soon! Thanks for the giveaway.
"Wish"ing you feel better...hot tea and chicken soup go a long way! Take care.
Add me to your list of loving the 'wish'.
Have you tried Buckleys sinus tablets. I have a lot of friends who say that they are amazing. Feel better soon!
Hope youre feeling good again very soon! Would love to have a matching wish for my house :)
Feel better! I heart that wish--it's so adorable!
Love that wish fish! Feel Better.
Loving the Wish! Hope your cold doesn't last all winter(like mine has)....:)
I'm so crazy about that little wish! Hope you're feeling better!
Love the Wishy Fish! :)
Hope you feel better soon - LOTS of hot tea always works for me, and putting your face over a pot of simmering water with a towel over your head, breathing up that steam.
I love the Wish! Too cute!
Hey Layla~
Hoep ya feel better soon! Ever since reading the words Netipot on your page, I keep sayin it over and over in my head! Funny word, Netipot BUT sure doesn't sound fun!
Love stumbling upon your blog several months ago. We are closing on our house this coming Tuesday and look forward to tackling all those fun projects and making it our own. I hope you feel better. This weather as also done a number on my sinuses. I also had though about using one of those rinse things, however like you I too am quite afraid of most things medical. I hope you get well. May the Lord bless.
Thanks for giving it away, love it!
I WISH you a speedy recovery and I would love to recover a WISH! : )

Everyone loves the "wish". I really hope you feel better soon, we've got the same creepy crud going around our house. It's not any fun being sick.
Love the Wish! Wish we had a good flea market where I live.
I saw Wish on your original post about him and thought about how cool it would be to find out like him.
I'm scared of all things involved with "flushing" sinuses. How can it not feel like snorting water up your nose?
Feel better.
I wish for Wish!!
