Well the croup has struck our house again. Hayden has been fighting it off for about 2 weeks now and every time we think it is better it gets worse again. However, last night we put Colton down for bed at 9pm and he woke me up at 12am crying and barking. He sounded horrible and he was having a really hard time breathing. So I immediately woke Mark up and started steaming up the bathroom in hopes that the moisture would help him breathe better. Then we realized that he was scared and couldn't figure out what was going on and he was still having a hard time breathing. It is so scary watching and listening to your child struggle to breathe. We called Aunt Kim and she met Mark and Colton at the ER for a breathing treatment. Mark said that when they got in the truck and he got some of the cool air, his breathing did get a lot better. It was very hard watching my baby leave for the hospital without me but we do have two other little angels that were sleeping soundly. I think I text and called Mark every few minutes for updates! I knew he was in the best of hands! Little Man got his breathing treatment, shot and a prescription for a steroid. Aunt Kim and Mark both said that he was so good last night. It was a long night at our house, Colton couldn't get comfortable and stay asleep and I was worried and checking on him every few minutes. He is much better today and we are all hoping for a good night sleep tonight!
Well, when I woke Hayden up for school this morning she was barking really bad again too. So we stopped by Aunt Kim's office on the way to school and now she too is on a steroid. Hoping all the croup leaves our house and stays away for a long time! Thanks to Aunt Kim for always taking such good care of all of us. We appreciate it so much and love you very much!
Poor babies. The croup has been bad this year. Mitchell has been coughing a lot this week and both Jon and I have had it. I hope your babies get better soon.
