About 36 hours after the doctors said Grant's lungs sounded great he came down with a cough. Last night he was up coughing and crying for most of the night. He is miserable. I know that having a sick kid is exhausting for any parent, but I'm hoping that as time goes on it will be easier for me than it is currently. Instead of just hearing a cough in the night I go on "high-alert," trying to listen to see if it sounds like it is in his lungs. I get super worried and feel guilty for taking him to story time, where I'm sure he caught it. I wonder if we should take him to the hospital or if I should just wait it out.
When he had the stomach flu a couple of months ago I got a taste of what it is like to have a "normal" sick kid. The stomach flu isn't life threatening for him, so it didn't create the worry in me that a cough does. I hope and pray that one day a cough will be in the same category for Grant as the flu. As for right now, please pray for Grant to be healed, for the cough to stay out of his lungs and for everyone around here to get some sleep.

It is wonderful to hear you are off bedrest! I will be praying for Grant and his cough. When in doubt, take him in to be seen. Better safe than sorry. Keep us posted on when baby girl is born. Can't wait to see her pictures!
Blessings of rest, peace and healing,
Julie W.
