Had a bit of a scary night here last night. Drew has had a bit of a cough for a few days now, but last night, while James and I were watching tv we heard him coughing and calling for us. I went up to see what was going on and found him crying, trying to call for us and barely able to breath. His cough sounded more like a seal bark than a cough.
In a panic, I brought him downstairs....he seemed as if he was going to puke each time he coughed. We took him to the kitchen, where James took him from me (cause I was a bit of a wreck) and calmed him down. Once he stopped crying, and was able to breath again, he fell asleep and we took him back up to his room (James decided that he would sleep with him, just in case).
Once Drew was in bed, James took off to the superstore to purchase a humidifier, which seemed to help alot. Drew hardly coughed after the "episode" at all......it's on again tonight. I honestly didn't think it would make that much of a difference.
It was pretty scary, as Drew was drooling quite a lot and seemed to be in quite a lot of pain. He seems ok today though, and was no worse for the wear this morning.
