Colds

**we made it through the night, yay! Lots of breathing treatments, humidifier, and prayers. Hopefully this continues through tonight!



Today I didn't have the ability to take a picture that was in focus, oh well!  I guess T's shirt is in focus on the third one.  We once again received strawberries and Tristan tried to convince me to let him eat the whole pound but I said no!  I convinced him it would be better to be able to have some tomorrow and the next day. 

I've been trying to decide if it's possible to get a kid to sleep at the same time they are walking around : )  Ok so I know that's totally ridiculous but this morning he woke up with "the cold".  You know the one we are constantly dealing with where it just comes on suddenly and he has a nasty cough and can't breathe real well.  I did his breathing treatment and he was up for a couple hours playing and moving around, even going out to lunch.  During that time he sounded good, you would barely know he was sick.  Then he goes to bed, cough, cough, struggling to breathe.  Now he's up again and it's starting to resolve a little, less coughing, breathing is getting quieter/easier.  But how will he last the whole night tonight w/o having breathing problems?  Thus my decision that we should find a way for him to be up and active while sleeping!  Instead I'll request prayers tonight that we don't have another visit to the ER.  Not only do we obviously not want to go to the ER- we've already spent a fortune in medical bills with mine and Tristan's problems and it's only May.  So hopefully God can spare Tristan (or maybe it's just us- i think he likes the hospital) the mental and monetary pain of the UCLA ER!  
One blessing is that he is sick now instead of next week when Michael heads out on a business trip.  If there was one thing I was making myself sick over it was that this would happen when M was gone.  Let's hope he doesn't just get  colds back to back!






"Bust It" is what he's growling in that video! That's how the song starts, so that's what he imitates, so much funnier in person!

Am so sorry about the colds -- hope there is quick relief! You've got a South-paw, for sure!
