Croup


So my baby boy got his 1st real time being sick last week... broke my heart! He had been kinda feeling sick the day before, but figured it was him teething, so when he woke up at 6:30 a.m. miserable and unable to breath unless he was held upright I knew he was sick, I gave him some medicine and he feel back asleep. Well when he woke back up at 11 wheezing and coughing that sounded like a dog bark I knew he was sick. The doctor told me to bring him in, so I did. I started crying while waiting in the room for the doctor, cause he was just wheezing and his oxygen level was low, all I could think about was how I knew how he felt, growing up with asthma I remember the feeling of not getting enough air to function, broke my heart. I just held him while he laid there thinking about how I wish I could take this from him. The doctor came in and said it was croup and gave Zayne a shot of a steroid to help the swelling in his throat go down so he could breath. By that night he was the energizer bunny! He had slept all day so of course at night when he started feeling better he was wanting to play. Let's just say the next morning he was better. Zayne is such a healthy baby. He never gets sick and when he does it only last a day or two, I am so lucky!
