John had a very hard time when he got to bed last night - coughing for well over an hour before he got to sleep. The coughing brings up the phlegm but then he chokes on it and has trouble getting it out. However, once he got to sleep he slept until 7am when he asked to be moved to the couch in the living room. Then he slept until after 11am. That meant I did not go to church. However, when he woke up he was not good so I was glad I did not go. He got up but had to lay down again. Later he got up and had a pretty good afternoon. But in the evening the meds started to not hold. I had to give him extra meds again. This means he missed several feedings, including the one that he would have had with the antibiotics. But he felt so bad that he went to bed early. I will stay up and give him another feeding with the antibiotics at 12:30 am when it won't interfere with the meds. 
He did not cough as much this afternoon or when he went to bed tonight. So that was encouraging.
Prayer requests stay the same.

One thumbs down for today - especially tonight.
