Rough night

Yesterday Korbyn and I both woke up with what appears to be allergies.  Both of us are really stopped up and have a lot of drainage with burning, watery eyes.  She was still pretty happy all day though, but I know she must have been starting to get frustrated because she hasn't really gotten the hang of breathing through her mouth yet.  Last night was AWFUL.  I'm going on about 3 hours of sleep right now because I just laid in bed all night just listening to her try to breathe.  I would doze off then wake right back up to her snorting.  Around 12:30 I went in and sucked her nose out again, which helped but she was wide awake so then we had to eat something before she would go back to sleep.  Then around 3 I tried putting her in bed with me propped up on pillows but she still couldn't breathe.  Then I finally took her with me into the living room and we sat upright in the recliner until 5:30 then I had to get up and get ready for work.  I gaver her a warm bath, turned her humidifier on and suctioned her nose and that's pretty much all I could do for her.  So any advice or little tricks that anyone knows of I sure would appreciate it :)
 This is what poor Korbyn looked like all day yesterday and still today :(
 We still managed to get a smile even though she felt cruddy.
She loves her Christmas present that Memaw Debbie got for her.  At first she didn't really care for it but now she's so content to just sit there and watch the lights and listen to the music!
