Nathan has been afflicted with a terrible cough for no less than two months. He has twice had prescriptions from his pediatrician, has taken a lifetime of cough medicine and we have even tried crazy remedies. It seemed nothing was going to work. Amazingly, last night I do not believe I heard Nathan cough this is the run down of treatments for the day - prescription medication (tablet on the tongue), Robitussin DM, breathing treatment also from pediatrician, Vicks vapor rub on the feet with socks over, humidifier with Vicks in the water - that might be it... And can you believe it, it seemed to work...UNTIL this morning! Maybe it is chronic.
We brought Grandpa Beadle to the airport yesterday after getting Nathan from school. In our ten minute trip home from the airport Audrey fell asleep. I knew she was very tired so I put her in her crib when we arrived home. Well, she woke up during the walk up the steps and she was sure she wasn't going to fall back to sleep. I left her in her crib thinking she would settle down and fall back to sleep. I went down stairs and was in the bathroom washing my hands when I heard a loud clunk on the ceiling above me. I quickly headed up the stairs to find Audrey meeting me on the way down. She wasn't graceful in her decent and claims to have hit her head although I did not see a mark of any kind. So, our life with the crib is over. She went to bed in her twin bed last night. We closed her door thinking we would be able to hear her if she were to wake up in the night. Well, we did hear her...as she was rounding the corner from the upstairs and heading downstairs to the basement looking for "momma" just before midnight!

Happy anniversary! I will definitely write your brother a letter. What a great thing to ask others to do. If only I could do so much more. I am so glad that you have such a supportive family and church family around you. Audrey really does look so happy in her pictures. Thinking and praying of you often. Love ya, Melissa
Haley has an awful cough quite often as well. Whenever people hear her, they cringe and say it sounds like she has coup. She is never actually sick with any infection and it takes a good 2 months to go away. At our last doctor appt, he started to discuss the possibilities of seasonal allergies. So we are trying that route in the hopes to avoid some awful looks and of course for Haley to be more comfortable :)
Harley has been in his toddler bed for about 4 months because he started climbing over the side of the crib. I walked in to him straddling the side! I'm still working on the doll for Audrey. I wanted to have it done by now, but knitting really tight with size 1 needles hurt by fingers, so I had to take a few breaks from her! But I'm finishing her clothes and I have to buy some more yarn for her legs. I hope she likes her! :D
Have they checked Nathan for asthma? That's how John is--that constant dry, strained cough
How exciting for Audrey to move to a toddler bed. She'd be so cute sleeping in her "big girl" bed. Tell her congratulations for us. We are happy for her.
