We finally start to see some improvement on Connor’s cough.  It has been 3 weeks now.  After the bad night I mentioned in the previous post, Connor had another bad one the following night.  He kept waking up from coughing that we decided to bring him to our bed.  But none of us could sleep well either.  Finally Stuart decided to try bouncing him to sleep; he ended up holding him from 3-5am.  Stuart woke me up when Logan was up super early at 5:15.  At that point, Stuart and Connor finally went down for some better sleep.  After these two bad nights, Connor was able to return to sleeping through without being woken up by coughing.  Last night was the first that he did not cough overnight.  He still has some coughing during the day, but we are so happy to see some improvements.
     Another event to mention was on Wednesday morning, after the difficult night, the teacher called me at 11:30am.  She reported that Connor was very sad, crying a lot and refusing bottles.  So I decided to visit him during my lunchtime.  When i got to school, Connor’s face was all red from the crying; it was difficult to see him like that.  As soon I picked him up, he stopped crying.  He also started drinking right away when I nursed him.  The whole time he was looking up at me, like making sure that I stayed with him.  I was able to watch Connor’s classmates while sitting there.  He has 6 classmates and 4 of them are also July babies.  They were all sitting down nicely around the teachers, watching and playing.  Very adorable!  When Connor finished drinking, he returned to the smiley one again.  He kept smiling to me and to the teacher, and he did not cry either when I handed him back to the teacher.  I then felt comfortable to return to work.  Since this incidence, he has been ok at school again.
