A Break From The Fall Festivities

On Tuesday we had a happy 17 month old running around the house and by 1:30 am Wednesday morning we had a 17 month old gasping for breath. We immediately ran him to the ER to find out he had a bad case of croup accompanied by a high fever. One dose of oral steroids, 2 steroid breathing treatments, and 5 hours later we were released from the hospital with someone who did a lot of this...


this...


and this...


He is finally on the mend, with an occasional cough and fever. We are glad he is returning to his normal self. Although a lethargic baby is a breath of fresh air sometimes, a lethargic, whiny baby is not.
