oh, the coughing

Henry has one of his signature terrible coughs but this sounds horrible even for him. He has been coughing for almost 24 hours straight, like only minutes in between coughs at most. It's painful to hear and, I'm sure, much more painful to experience. Mia has a milder, snottier version of it. I slept only a few hours last night. My sinuses are burny, my ears throb and I forgot what it is like to feel like this much of a zombie. God, I hope we can all sleep better tonight but the last few hours of Henry tossing and turning and hacking aren't promising. I have no idea what I will do about work deadlines tomorrow.
