Well, unfortunately we have a couple barking seals at our house. Cole woke up in the middle of the night coughing and really struggling to breathe . . . scaring his mommy and daddy. After a few steam baths and a restless night on the floor by his crib, we made it to the doctor. Connor (who's had the junky cough for a week) and Cole were diagnosed with croup. They don't do anything for Connor since he is almost 5, but since Cole is only 17 months they put him on a steroid to help his airways. We were snowed in Tuesday -Thursday and now Friday - Sunday we are under quarantine.
The funny part is that I've officially become one of those moms who can't remember which kid had or did what. I know that one (maybe two??) of our kids had croup. I remember bundling up and going out into the cold air thinking "this seems weird!" But I can't really remember who I bundled up. At first I thought I remembered doing it when Cole was little, then I realized maybe it was Connor . . . or maybe Megan??? Can you believe this? I guess the past 5 years of little sleep, coughs, colds, fevers, sore throats and stomach flu are officially all running together in my memory bank. Anyway, after much discussion Matt and I think it was Connor and Megan sometime in their first year. So now we are officially 3 for 3 (we think . . .) with the croup.
