Noah had a better night last night, and didn't cough at all after about 1 this morning, so he got several hours of uninterrupted sleep. That's something we all underestimate the power of when we aren't feeling well....sleep. Once he woke up though, the coughing started again and was horrible. He coughed nonstop for nearly two hours, and coughed up a lot of mucus. He tried to eat twice, but just coughed it all back up so he gave up after that. I finally got him to take some cough medicine, and once it kicked in he seemed to feel a little better. Also gave him a breathing treatment this morning, so that might have helped too. I've asked Pavan to talk with Noah's pediatrician to see if we can get something to help more with the cough, though. He already had a poor appetite from not feeling well, I'd hate for him to refuse to eat because he's afraid of coughing it back up again.
Otherwise, it's a beautiful day here in Rhinelander. The high temperatures for the next week are only supposed to be in the 70s, and it got down in the 40s overnight. Right now it's sunny and 70, with a slight breeze. Beautiful!
Better get going. Just wanted to let you all know how Noah was feeling.

So glad Noah is feeling somewhat better. The constant coughing is soooooo annoying and painful. At least he did get some mucus up. Tell him Nanny said hi and I'm glad he's feeling better.
I sure hope the weather is as nice when I get there as it has been lately. We're supposed to have a pretty nice weekend.
I'll talk with you later. Say hi to everyone.
Love you, Mom
