Tonight Everyone is Breathing Easier

Benji has had a rattle in his chest for some time. The doctors explained that when he learned to clear his throat, it would go away. Saturday his breathing became labored and he developed a croup. Sunday morning he showered with his mother (lucky boy) and the steam seamed to help for a while, but by evening we felt it necessary to take him to the Emergency Room. They gave him an asthma treatment and took x-rays before moving us to a hallway to wait. After several hours we left fearing exposure to worse problems. This morning we took him to the doctor's office, where he was diagnosed with bronchitis and given medication. This evening he was in good spirits and resting with easy breathing.
