Our little man with Croup felt pretty bad for a few days. I didn't take him in to the doctor because there is nothing they could do for him unless he got so bad he truly could not breath. So, I just monitored him. We slept sitting up on the couch. We had a vaporizer. I gave him whatever medicine I could. We did hot baths with the shower running every night before bed. We did lots of liquid....or whatever he would drink....which wasn't much. The sound of his cough was so yucky and bad. He was so miserable. Days 2 and 3 were the worst. He barely slept and didn't want off of my lap. Charlotte ended up just getting a runny nose for a few days. It wasn't a big deal.
Here was our sick boy.
We could tell when he started feeling better because the goofy guy in him came out.
The kids were playing zoo. Charlotte was the zookeeper.
I would say she is the cutest zookeeper I have ever seen. Just sayin'...
This was the first day in a few days that they finally started playing together again.
They were so cute pulling these around the kitchen.
And then Sawyer just HAD to ruin her little zoo parade. :)
Poor poor buddy.
It took over a week to get him feeling 100%. It took a month to get him sleeping through the night again :) Perfect. But we made it through and we made it without having to drag him to the doctor.
