Infant Laryngitis

Tommy has a cold. This cold has resulted in Tommy losing his voice. Because he uses his voice mostly for crying (Tommy cries A LOT!), his illness has acted as a somewhat of a vacation for his family from listening to his screams.

If we didn't feel so badly for him it would be difficult not to laugh at poor Tommy, mouth agape, clearly registering his complaint, but without sound.

This is one baby that has no reason to be discontent. Yet it is so. He is breastfed, coddled by family members and doesn't have to wear his own products of elimination. Perfect life, no? Somehow, he just doesn't think so.
