While last night was much better than the night before, he's still coughing up a lung, the poor thing. Two nights ago, Levi woke up in the middle of the night. His chest was so tight/congested he could barely breathe! It was awful! Of course, he was crying, which only exasperated his congestion... and the pain it was causing me. I was able to quiet him by nursing him and snuggling with him for a little bit; he went back to sleep. As it turned out, that scenario played out a few more time before daylight.
Last night was better, since it was cooler (turned on the AC) and had a humidifier next to his bed. Today he coughed a lot. Tonight he's again sleeping with the humidifier. I'm hoping and praying that he's better tomorrow. Besides the fact that Grampa is coming to visit tomorrow, Levi REALLY needs to get better before we head North!
I tell ya, I've heard parents talk about what it was like for them to see or hear their children in pain. I never really understood that heart-wrenching feeling they were talking about... until now. There are so many things about being a parent that you can only somewhat understand until you actually live the experience. I never knew how full my heart could be for the love of another... so full it feels as though it could burst! Well, it doesn't burst, but does usually cause tears to spill from my eyes :) I love my little boy, and I hope he's feeling better tomorrow.
