The little man had his first trip to the doctor yesterday for being sick. His temperature went from 99.8 to 101.6 in two hours. So...we went into his doctor's office and saw a new doctor (we just took whoever was available). We really liked this doctor and may switch to him, even though we like the old one, this guy was more thorough. He even gave us his home number to call anytime during the night. So, the verdict is in that he has croup. We had to sleep with our window open last night, all bundled up. This helps the cold, moist air get into his passages and relieve his cough and hopefully make his throat feel better. I thought we'd be freezing all night, but that is the beauty of three people and one dog in a bed, lots of body heat! I was scared to sleep because the doctor warned us that sometimes babies with croup will stop breathing for periods of time, but he did great. He is still is sweet, happy self. The doctor was very impressed with how well he handles being sick.
We cancelled all of our plans this week, hoping he will be better by Saturday for Halloween. Our trip is next week too, so we wanted to make sure he was well enough to travel. So, if you could pray that he heals quickly and fully, we would really appreciate it!
