It' been a really long time...

Tate hasn't been sick with any sort of cough or respiratory infection for over a year. It's been since he had pneumonia after his tonsillectomy last year. He suddenly just started coughing today. It is a nasty, gunk in the lungs type of cough. He's acting completely fine, but his little voice is leaving him too. He also has hardly eaten anything today...he says he's just not hungry. We're pumping him full of orange juice (which he is loving!) and hoping it doesn't get worse. Since he's had pneumonia twice in his 3 years of life already, I hate it when he gets a cough like this because I get scared that he's going to get it again. The doctors have told us that the more he gets it, the more prone he is to it. So since he's had it twice already, I get paranoid that he'll get it even more easily. I'm praying that this is just a cough and doesn't go beyond that.
