Zach came into our bedroom near 4:00am last Tuesday complaining that he couldn't breathe. We had put him to bed the night before with a dose of Children's Advil to knock out his slight fever, so thought he may wake up at some point in the night, but we never expected this!! He was wheezing, his eyes were goopy and swollen, he was hoarse and had a hacking cough. We gave him a breathing treatment here... which caused him to throw up. He had blood in his vomit which REALLY scared us. It was off the ER for Zach and Daddy!!
I dropped Lainey at school at 6:34am (they open at 6:30) before rushing to meet up with Zach and Daddy. He was just getting discharged when I arrived. He was diagnosed with Croup and sent on his merry way... which is pretty much how he felt after a LONG morning nap.
Zach recovered with plenty of yogurt and his favorite... long noodles!! The healing properties of ramen noodles should be spread far and wide!!
