Good Morning!

After finally getting him to sleep, he actually slept in his bed for a little this morning.

Then he woke up and was looking around contentedly. (Camera caught him closing his eyes)

And right after I took the picture, he changed from happily looking around to having a little coughing fit. He has a little head congestion, and the air through the canula really dries things out, making it tougher to breathe on him sometimes. It only took about 15 minutes to settle him out, and he is back to being content as his older sister is rocking him.

Mom was up a lot of the night, some out of concern for his breathing, some out of his desire to be held. She passed him over at 5:30, had part of her breakfast, gave Timmy his 6:00 meds and headed up to bed for a nap. Hopefully she will get enough of a nap to get her through the day. I'm sure she can get another nap if she needs it.

We are hoping that Timmy's congestion is just from the nasal canula air being too dry, and not a cold or cold like virus. His little boy has to work so hard as it is, that just a simple cold is that much harder for him to handle.

As for the family, we enjoyed our Thanksgiving foods. The turkey was found on our turkey melt sandwiches, we had freshly prepared cranberry sauce (which went great on a turkey melt, by the way), and pumpkin pie with whipped cream for dessert. Not the normal, but a doable semblance of the normal. There were no complaints from any of the kids for our non traditional dinner.
