Sad? Helpless? Wanting to snuggle them regardless of their age? Our sweet J (14) has had a cough for 6 straight weeks. Started with a cold and never went away. Took him to his doctor last week and she’s thinking since his lungs sound okay it could be his allergies but he’s had walking pneumonia last year so it could be that again. He has been so tired. But he gets up at 5 am 4 days a week for footfall workouts and then practices right after school for track until 430pm plus track meets. He was already on daily Claritin so she switched him to Zyrtec and added Flonase and a daily saline rinse in the shower after track to get anything he breathed in out. It didn’t work. The cough has gotten wetter so today she put him on antibiotics as discussed and he will miss weights the rest of the week to get some extra rest.
I knew he needed this but wow. How much? Poor guy fell asleep at 7 tonight. We got him moved to his room at 830 and he is sleeping straight through. I think he definitely needs a rest.
Hopefully he’s good to go for his track meet tomorrow?
Our babies are always our babies.
