What a difference a day makes!

Grayson and his new best friend Amoxicillin!

After fighting a cough and low grade fever for few days, Grayson woke up a little before 5 on Sunday morning with a temperature of 103 and a much worse croupy sounding cough. About 2 years ago Grayson had a bad bout of pneumonia that nearly put him in the hospital, so I get really worried when he starts sounding and looking like he did on Sunday. After a VERY LONG wait at urgent care, they determined that he has some bad bronchitis. He spent most of yesterday sleeping and laying around with no energy at all. But this morning, after 2 doses of antibiotics he is much improved. He even got silly and wanted me to take this picture of him with his medicine. His cough is still pretty bad so I'll probably keep him home another day or two, but it's so nice to see some energy return.
