One Sick Puppy

We have had a tumultous week. Rhett caught a respiratory infection- rattling in his chest turned into a barking cough, scared us half to death. We took him to the hospital last week out of panic! Our doctor said he has "croup." It is awful, but with the help of a few breathing treatments every day, he is coming out of it. It is kind of funny to reflect on our first sick-kid experience. At the hospital, Porter and I are just nervous wrecks trying to explain our child's ailment to the doctor while Rhett is just smiling and flirting with the nurses- not very convincing. Anyway, I am staying home to take care of him. He has been a trooper with the nebulizer treatments and sleeping around our bathroom remodel (great timing, huh?).Our humidfier is working overtime while we are doing what we can to keep his chest elevated and him comfortable. Whew!

Late night with our new friend the nebulizer:
Look at those eyes, trying to hang in there. Sweet thing.
Can you believe there is hammering and sawing going on in the background?!






Finally a smile after Uncle Coleman visits!!
