I had to ask....

I had to ask what Wednesday would bring and it brought sickness. Preston's cough has gotten a million times worse and now he can barely speak from a sore throat. He is on the verge of getting Bronchiolitis, he gets it once a year. Its a common illness of the respiratory tract caused by an infection that affects the tiny airways, called the bronchioles, that lead to the lungs. As these airways become inflamed, they swell and fill with mucus, making breathing difficult. Yeah I so copied and pasted that.
He has an inhaler that he has to use when he does get this yucky stuff but it doesn't seem to help much. He has been sleeping in our room on the floor because he is coughing so much that he actually gags and gasp for air. He sleeps under the humidifier but he ends up in our bed before the night is over. The sleeping arrangements are with Lowel comfortably sleeping on his side of the bed with plenty of room to roll and stretch out and Preston is suppose to be in the middle however he is all up on my side pressing his bony knees, elbows, feet and hands in my back and me with less than an inch from the side curled up hanging on to dear life trying not to fall out of bed and wake Preston up. Needless to say my body aches and I haven't slept in 2 days. What about my husband you ask? Well he is Mr. Sunshine with plenty of sleep and his skin is glowing from all of the beauty rest he has gotten and he skips into work while whistling Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah. He is probably milking a Starbucks Latte as we speak while I am using a bulb syringe trying to get the yuckies out of Prestons nose. Tonight I'm sleeping on the floor.
