Luke's First Sick Day

Woke up this morning around 4 am to the sound of Luke coughing up a storm.

He normally coughs & sneezes occasionally so it wasn't a big deal at first but when I realized he was coughing a lot and he sounded congested I started to get a little concerned.

I called the doctor's office and they told me he is too young for medicine and to buy him Little Noses and suction his nose afterwards. They also said to get a humidifier and have him sleep elevated...so he is sleeping in his car seat now. We also thought he might have a little case of diarrhea and they said to buy Gerber Liquilytes to replace the electrolytes that he lost. We couldn't find that brand so Brad bought a generic one from the grocery store. We were also concerned when his congestion changed from clear to greenish/yellow.

Luke was a little more fussy than usual on Friday so I thought maybe he might not be feeling well but I wasn't sure. For a sick boy, he surely is happy though. He even smiled through a couple of diaper changes today (that is no small thing...he hates diaper changes usually!).

I know this is the first of many sick days and many colds but it surely does scare a new momma when her boy has congestion problems. So, please pray for him if you could. I would really like to nip this thing in the bud before we have to take him to the doctor. You can tell that he just doesn't feel very good.
