Another case of Croup

croup 1 |kroōp|nouninflammation of the larynx and trachea in children, associated with infection and causing breathing difficulties.DERIVATIVEScroupadjectiveORIGIN mid 18th cent.: from dialect croup [to croak,] of imitative origin.

Talan has had another case of Croup.  Last night before Talan went to bed David and I thought that for sure we would end up in the ER in the middle of the night.  Luckily he didn't get bad enough for us to go to the ER but I called the doctor first thing this morning and got him in.  They gave him a steroid shot and he should be good to go!  There is nothing worst than when your child can't breath.

Tell me about it! Especially when they can't breathe on their own, and the kid has to go on lung bypass! ECMO!

Glad our little buddy is ok! Christy called me at midnight the other night so they could take Dylan in for the same thing! It was sooo scary to see him that way!
We are trying to come up there around the same time Kristen and Staci are! Brace yourself!
Don't worry we plan to invade Bruce and Becca's place since your sisters and folks will be there :)
Can't wait to see you all!
Hugs

Croup is horrible steph! Kayla had that a few weeks ago pretty bad. She came out of it ok without an ER visit, but it was pretty miserable for a few days. Hope he's gets better!
