Simon brought home some respiratory loveliness two weeks ago. Sore throat, headache, low-grade fever all of which finished off with a lovely, wet cough. He came home from school with it, missed the next day, (his first so far!) and was back the next day feeling fine. Kicked the cough in five days days or so. My little asthmatic sickly one has finally grown an immune system!
Jonathan fell next.. I think it was last Friday? Sore throat, which hurt him badly enough that he gagged himself and threw up all over me. (briefly panicked and saw Thanksgiving and whole-family stomach virus flash before my eyes until I realized what had actually happened) Low-grade fever for a day. Bounced back well enough that he never even missed a day of school over it. Then the cough kicked in... fine... figured it would work its way out like it did with Simon.
Somewhere in there, Ben complained of a sore throat one day, but never had any of the rest of it.
Non-event there.
Anyway, so it has been 8? 9 days? Jonathan is still hacking and it's still the same. Now he's all tired and cranky. No fever. Eating fine. Drinking fine. Sleeping all night. (except for one random night in there where he wasn't tired at all EVER) So I was trying to be nice and non alarmist and wait it out. But for the second day in a row now, he has taken his nap starting at 10:45. Cranky and hacking. We had to leave school this morning because he was just WIPED. He even asked to go home. Poor thing. :(
Guess we're all to the germ incubation center in the morning to have his chest listened to. Joy! Hope we do not pick up anything else while we are there!

Could he have cough-variant asthma? Just a thought with that kind of a cough...and asthma in the family.
Well, he finally kicked it. It never got to the point where it sounded like Simon's asthma, although I was ready with the nebulizer just in case!
