Waffle fries and Croup

We had a weekend of firsts at the McMichael household.

First time playing with a laundry basket full of toys.

And the first time to have croup…

NOT fun! Ever since Noah started preschool he has had a runny nose and a little cough. I started using the bulb syringe/saline drops/humidifier on him and that seemed to help some but this past weekend he just took a turn for the worse. When he coughs, he seriously sounds like he is about to cough up a lung! Poor baby!

So this morning I took him to the doctor. He coughed almost on cue for the doctor and croup it is! THEN the doctor totally freaked me out and said that he should be ok but if he starts gasping for air then I should let him breathe the cold air from the freezer and if that didn’t work to take him to the emergency room! AH!

Hopefully that won’t happen! Gee whiz! But the doctor said that he was ok to go to school and he seemed to be feeling ok so I took him.

AND I noticed this weekend that TWO more teeth are popping through. His top two vampire teeth! I have been looking and looking for a cute Halloween costume all month. Maybe I should just let him be a vampire, since we will already have the teeth!!

And lastly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the love of my life! I love you with all my heart. You are a fabulous husband and Daddy! We LOOOOOVE you!

That last picture of you and him just melts my heart! His expression is priceless.
My DS is about the same age (6.5 mths) and is also going through a bad cold and cough. I'm hoping it's not the croup as well. I'm trying everything, suction, vaporizor, etc, I'm not sure if anything is working. The major PITA is that his coughing wakes him up from his naps, so his naps are only 10 or so mn long--poor guy is exhausted.

GL and I hope the little one feels better soon!
