Elias climbed off the bus yesterday, coughing, and not his usual loose gunky cough from his habitual upper airway congestion but a dry deep cough, the kind that scrapes away at my "all better" news.
Another sleep-deprived night for Nick and I as we inadvertently took restless shifts, worried about the creeping illness moving into his damaged lungs, both battered by the fears that arise when you lie awake in the dark of night.
It's been a rough week.
I can't quite say "Happy Friday" but I'll say thank god it is.
So sorry to hear that he's still under the weather :(. Sending prayers.

Feel better, Elias! Here's hoping it starts to turn in the right direction.

Sympathy for your lack of sleep and Elias' cough.
My first visit here - so pleased you converted to your own site - I quit registering on those multiple sites - too much work to track. Also pleased to see you chose TypePad. I've been a resident for 2 years.
I'll be back. Barbara
