The Sickies

Well it was bound to happen, my littlest got sick. And to think that I the other day I had a thought that he's been here for almost nine months and has yet to get sick. So it's only natural that he would wake a up a few days later with a terrible cough, slight fever and runny nose. A trip to the pediatrician ended in a diagnosis of croup and two oral steroids to try and keep the swelling in this throat down. 

So far he's been in pretty good spirits. Nigh time sleeping has been difficult, especially since I've been sleeping with him to keep an eye on his breathing. Per the doctor it gets worse at night and if he shows any trouble breathing we are to take him to the ER. The kid is such a restless sleeper so momma is running on fumes with very little sleep. 

I do think it's safe to say he's starting to turn the corner, so I'm hoping tomorrow there will be even more smiles and less of a runny nose! I guess it was bound to happen, but sick babies are no fun. On a positive note I do get some more snuggles than usual!
