That Scary One

  Your body has many ways of warning you that something is wrong. Like those little hairs on the back of your neck. When something is wrong mine stand at attention. They sure did last night and again this morning. And something most certainly is wrong.

  Riley has that cough. If you are a parent you know the exact one I mean. The wheezy, asthmatic one. The one that takes you from a deep sleep to wide awake instantly. That's what he has. Bad.

  He's had it before and the doctor has given him a puffer to help. Usually, it's only at night but this time he is wide awake and it's still there. It's no less scary in daylight I assure you. A trip to the doctor's office is in our immediate future.

  You would never know the child was sick....until you hear it. Hopefully, he will improve some today.  Another day spent lying in bed resting should help him feel better.

  It can't hurt.
