It’s been four days of madness around here. Every night for the past three nights Ari has woken up between 3-4am with 103 fever. Last night the fever was accompanied by a disturbing wheezing sound. We took him to the doctor today and he was diagnosed with Croup. It makes sense because his cough sounds like a barking dog. This sort of cough is consistent with Croup.
Needless to say, it’s been extremely difficult to get him back to sleep at night and during the day for naps. So what am I thankful for right now? This:
I haven’t showered in four days, and I’ve been a chicken soup-making machine*, but I don’t care. I just want him to get better already.
Have your kids had croup? Do tell!
