It was her lungs. They had been under constant stress with all her coughing and even now she breathed with a wheeze. At least the coughs had stopped for now. Carter lay on her side, fast asleep. Connecticut applied a mint salve to her sister's chest as she did every few hours. Almost immediately, the salve eased her stress and helped her relax.
