Its Always Something... This Time Its Croup
Cameron is sick, yet again. After they looked at his chest xray from our last ER visit she said to watch out for Croup. And here it is! Yesterday morning he woke up with a really runny nose but I just figured it was because it was so cold. Then last night he woke up around 10pm with a barking "croup cough" and gasping for air like he couldnt breath. We turned up his humidifier, we took him in a steamy bathroom, but nothing was working and he was having a hard time breathing. We remembered the doctor said to take him to the ER again if he sounded like he was getting Croup...So off we went again, to the ER. They gave him medication with steroids in it to open his airway and he was acting so much better after that. His cough is still around today but its more congested sounding than the barking cough he had last night. We have to watch out for it to develop again in the next few weeks. I hope it doesnt! I want more than a week without him being sick.

Unfortunately now that it is winter he will probably get sick quite a bit. Little guys struggle more with getting sick than adults during these winter months. It is so hard to see little babies sick when they don't understand what is happening to them. I remember Christopher having the croup several times while I was in Seattle when he was a baby. I hope he starts to feeling better!
