Recovered?

Alex seems nearly fully recovered from the RSV virus. He has a slight wheeze when he breathes, but that seems to be it. Dad had a holiday yesterday so he stayed home with Alex. They visited the doctor in the morning. Alex had dropped from 16 lbs., 9 oz., last Tuesday to 16 lbs., 0 oz. on Monday morning. But, the doctor said he looks like he is doing well otherwise.

On Monday, Alex restarted solid food after over a week. He was up to about half of his milk volume. On Tuesday, Alex seemed to be feeling nearly 100% better. He went in for a full day of school and everyone was glad to see him back. He had both solid foods and a full volume of milk. At night, he played with Dad and Mom and ate more solids.

On Monday and Tuesday, he was very very happy and laughing a lot. His laugh has changed over the last few days (probably longer, he was not laughing much in the hospital). We tried to get it on video, but did not quite get it. We will try again soon. Here is the attempt.
