good sport

it was sad seeing him have to do this for the first few times but russell got used to it rather quickly. for 15 minutes he would sit and watch tv or a movie, usually the Charlie Brown Valentine movie that we are borrowing from the library... that's their favorite movie right now.

the doctor said to continue these treatments until his cough was gone and thankfully i think we might be able to stop now. this medicine made russell's heart race about 100 beats per second and he turned into a ball of energy, bouncing off the walls and aggressively throwing things, all the while laughing at every little thing -- or, nothing apparent. it was definitely weird, yet strangely funny to witness. but i'll be glad when it's over for good. i'm happy to have healthy kids again. let's keep it that way please!
