Well, mostly anyways.
After multiple visits to various medical establishments... to deal with the resulting fallout from his initial breathing illness... we had a "well baby" check up yesterday. The boy is now down to the THIRD percentile for his weight... but our doc wasn't too concerned as "he's had a rough month." This visit was improvement from earlier- but he's still not well." Which my mind knew- and felt a little assured at my intuition- but my heart still sank a little. I was so hoping to be overreacting and have this be a quick recovery.
So now we're in the odd stage of trying to figure out how much to baby him and how much to let him run or take him out into the cold. And what the heck is this deal with the weather, anyway? It gets warm enough to remind us what it should feel like, then back into the 40s or 50s. Between that and the sickness, it feels like a real winter!

Michael has been sick on and off since Christmas - or maybe even further back in the fall. Not needing hospitalization, thank goodness, but can't run w/ out coughing. We're trying a new inhaler to see if we can get things under control.
All of this is to say that I somewhat understand where you're coming from and it really stinks. It would be so nice to watch him just run around w/out worrying that he was going to start having a coughing fit, right?
