This is the post I've been wanting to write

Axel saw the pediatric lung specialist at Children's Hospital in Denver and thinks that Axel has some residual fluid from a viral infection he had a while back. He did a special foreign body x-ray which came back negative and also showed some improvement in the fluid that was there.

He does still have the weird hacking cough and the raspy voice so we have a follow-up scheduled for 6 weeks from now. If he is better by then we can just skip the follow-up and assume he's all healed.

Thanks everyone for all your support. Calls from Scott and Aunt Muffie last night really helped.
