Cough

I took Thad to the doctor yesterday afternoon because he has had a cough the past few days and it kept waking him up at night. He hadn't been able to sleep during the day, either, and he was exhausted. I called the nurse and she said he should be seen to make sure he doesn't have an ear infection. So he was seen by the nurse practitioner, Sue, but it turns out he just has a cough. She said to have him sleep upright by putting his car seat or something in his bed and strapping him into that, and to run a cool mist humidifier in his room. So last night when I put him to bed I put his bouncy seat in the crib and layed him in that once he fell asleep on me in the rocking chair. He made a little happy sigh in his sleep as I layed him down in it and he snuggled in. It sure did the trick. I was sure he'd be awake in 30 minutes, but he didn't wake up until morning!
