Hollis starting running a fever the Thursday before my birthday, so off we went to the Dr Friday morning. Dr said it was a virus, so continue with Ibuprofen and Tylenol and call if it got worse. We were ready to call of the celebrations Saturday, but he seemed to be perking up a little. As the day went on, he just wasn't himself, lying around and pitiful. He ended up running a fever again Saturday night and all day Sunday, higher than it had been over the last couple of days. I could tell he felt worse and Sunday night he started with the croup/bark cough. I knew it right away because Clayton had croup when he was little. It is really scary because their airway swells and the cough sounds awful. He was so pitiful. I spent most of the night up rocking him and taking him into the steamy bathroom. On Monday we went back to the Dr and he confirmed it was croup and put him on a steroid. He continued to feel bad for the entire next week, slowly but surely getting better. I hate when my babies are sick :( Glad we are on the mend and so incredibly thankful and blessed that they are otherwise healthy and happy! Such a gift!!!!
