The Cold

Luka usually sleeps through the night with no problem. We put him to bed around 8:00 at night and he is quiet (whether or not he falls asleep right away) until sometime between 6:00 - 7:00 in the morning.
Unfortunately, Luka's cough has been getting worse, and to top it off, he's gotten a cold, which means a miserable drippy nose and a sore throat. Two nights ago, Luka had hacking bouts of coughing (literally) every other minute and his coughs would give way to pitiful cries every hour or two. It was so hard for me to know what to do, and I got up 5 times that night to comfort Luka and help him fall back asleep.
Luka eventually became so frustrated by his interrupted sleep that he decided to get up for the morning at 5:15. Thankfully, wonderful Paul--who slept through the coughing--got up with him and fed him breakfast, giving me an hour or so to catch up on sleep before having to get up for work.
Luka's since been sleeping better again, probably in part because of our very busy weekend mostly spent in town (no regular naps for the poor guy).
But now we ALL have colds! Pray for us!
