Upper Respiratory Infection


Grant, Kate and Jim all caught some kind of upper respiratory infection. Kate and Jim are on the mend, but Grant still has quite a cough. Over the weekend he coughed so hard he gave himself a bloody nose. Yesterday at the YMCA he was coughing so hard he threw up on the bleachers. :( He's back on the nebulizer and qvar inhaler twice a day. He has licked this kind of thing so many times now we are confident he will make it through it. It just takes him a little longer than the average kid. We will head to the pulmonologist on Friday just to check in.

On a side note- Grant's new answer to everything is "you bet." If I say, "Grant do you want a snack?", he comes back with a quick, "you bet, mom." It melts my heart... and reminds me of his ever so enthusiastic dad. :)
