Last night Allison woke up coughing and crying. I went up and got her, hugged her, consoled her, and rocked her almost back to sleep. I layed her oooh so gently back in bed and she appeared to be drifting off to sleep.
But of course, at exactly the moment MY head hit my pillow she burst back into tears and wails. This time it was clear that her throat was hurting her while she coughed. We gave her a dose of Tylenol and went through the hugging, consoling, rocking, gently laying... All have now enjoyed a restful night's sleep.
I thank God to live in this time period where we have the blessing of simple pain killers.
