I think Colt has come down with a bad case of croup. Not sure if that's what it is or not but he wheezes very badly when he breathes and when he coughs it sounds kind of like a dog or seal barking. I got out my medical books and they said those are also the signs for croup. We have a humidifier going in his room at night why he sleeps (which really isn't much lately since he has a hard time breathing when he is laying down) and we have done the steam from the shower idea as well. He's been very teary this weekend and mainly just wanting to be held and even then that does not always console him. Dave said he would stay home with him tomorrow if he's still sick (I am all out of sick days at work!!) but hopefully he is feeling better by then. If you know of any good ideas to ease his discomfort feel free to post!

You could try humidifying the whoel house since he isn't in his room all the time. Just put a pot or kettle on the stove and boil water. We did that with Madi and that seemed to help. Also, we put on vicks rub. I know he isn't stuffed up, but the menthol might open his breathing passages a bit more so he can get more air in. Good luck
