Congestion

Henry has had a nasal cold for a couple of days.  He’s been around so many people with a cold, I have been surprised his little body has held out this long.  This afternoon he took a nap and it sounded like all the post nasal drip settled in his chest.  Tonight at 2 am we had a replay of nap time but just more severe.  It’s so weird how kids get the sickest in the middle of the night.  We spent some time in the bathroom with a hot shower steaming.  We tried to go back to bed in our bed with his head elevated but his breathing was so labored and he couldn’t get comfortable that I was planning on holding him in the bathroom all night (we did have a humidifier on).  Dave suggested giving him one of his breathing treatments that we haven’t used in a long time.  So we did and then, suddenly, someone sprang into energizer bunny.  Wants to PAR-TY!  So he’s up eating a snack and watching Kipper the Dog laughing his head off.  We’re making the most of this all nighter!
