Illness

Our attempt to keep Reed well has failed. I heard him start coughing during the night, so I took him to the pediatrician this morning. Unfortunately, he has a little fluid in his lungs. He is now taking an oral steroid and 3 breathing treatments a day. It breaks my heart to see him sick, but he is a trooper. He remains calm during the breathing treatments, and I think he likes the taste of the medicine. He is extremely congested, and I am shocked at the amount of snot that comes out of his nose.
Ryland is feeling much better and back to his happy self.

Cooper is very aware that things are not normal. He has been right at my side while I take care of the boys. He runs to Reed when he cries and naps with Ryland.
