2 Pack A Day Habit...

Or at least that's what Gray sounds like lately. After the pink eye came the congestion and the horrible choking cough. It's worse at night, which means none of us are sleeping well. And of course, because he's choking on the drainage, I don't want him all the way in his room, so he's been sharing a bed with Wil and I.  You would never realize that someone so little takes up so much space in a bed.

Since the cough seems to be getting worse instead of better, we finally decided that we needed a medical opinion and took the little monkey to the doctor yesterday, only to be told that there's nothing we can do. We are giving him some benadryl (per the doctor's recommendation), some motrin (for the sore throat), saline drops to help clean out the nose, and vicks vapor rub for the congestion as well. So far, no improvement, but hopefully soon.

And if the bathroom issues, the pink eye, the congestion, and the cough wasn't enough...on Friday, Gray bumped his head at daycare and has a nice bruise on his forehead.  Poor little guy! This attempting to walk thing is not as easy at it looks.  To make him feel a bit better I guess, I somehow got my toe caught on the sofa and pulled my big toe toenail half off. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
