Poor Max

Max is a bit grumpy these days because he has caught a cold from somewhere. He has a nasty sounding cough and a stuffed nose which can make feeding difficult since has trouble breathing and sucking at the same time. Usually when he cries he sounds angry, but with the hoarseness in his voice lately he just sounds completely sad and miserable, and he looks at us with eyes that say 'Please fix it!'.

We went to the doctors yesterday and Max was given the all-clear on nasty things like throat and ear infections and doesn't have a fever, so apparently it's not the flu but just a cold that will get better eventually. Until then Max is a bit grumpy and miserable, and therefore Cam and I are tired and grumpy, so please pray for us.
