Our “vacation” down here in semi-sunny Florida has really started off with a bang. I thought my son sounded like he was getting a little congested on the flight on the way down. By the next afternoon, we brought him to a pediatric urgent care clinic near my in-laws’ house. [As a small digression, this [...]
