As most parents can attest, there are few more harrowing experiences you can have with a young child than when they get sick. We had a pretty nasty cold going around my office and Wil was lucky enough to contract it. While constantly coughing and blowing my nose was a pain for me, it was a whole different story for poor Wil who could only sit there weezing, unable to figure out how to make his nose work the way it used to.

Sick Wil was still Happy Wil
Wil remained his usual smiley self, but it quickly became obvious that he was going to need some help getting over this bug. Kate took him to the doctor and was promptly told to head to the ER because it looked like Wil was having too much trouble breathing. They spent the day and were sent home, though the doctors seemed unsure that Wil was out of the woods yet. Sure enough, at a follow-up visit the next day he was sent back to the ER and this time Wil was admitted into the hospital overnight. It turns out one of the benefits of being “extremely contagious” is that you’re given your own room so Wil and Kate had the unique experience of being in an NYU hospital room without a bunch of other people crowding the same space.

Wil's Hospital Bed
After a night of special care, Wil was released the next day and we’re happy to report he’s almost back to his old self.
