I HATE croup!!!
Kylee woke up this morning wheezing and coughing like a seal. I know this sound all too much because she had it last year around this time and it scared me to death! She came to my bedside around 3am last night and she was hotter than hot! As I was trying to give her motrin, she was having the hardest time breathing. She was wheezing like crazy. It scared me so bad. I was so close to taking her to Urgent Care because she was either going to throw up or pass out because she couldn't breathe. Luckily she got passed that scary minute and drank her medicine. She, of course, came to bed with David and I after that so I could keep a close eye on her. She slept the rest of the night through thankfully. I kept checking her forehead and thankfully her fever broke. I had bought children's mucinex the night before because she was coughing pretty bad so I've been pumping her full of that every 4 hours, along with motrin to keep her on-going fever down. Then every 4 hours, I give her a breathing treatment. We got this last year for her when she had croup and luckily I still have a full bag of medicine left for this machine. So here she is with the saddest eyes ever, breathing in her medicine to help her croup go away. Poor baby! She does a good job of holding it herself though. She's really good about taking her medicine and doing her breathing treatments. I'm so glad too because otherwise I'd be stressing out even more! Did I mention that I HATE CROUP!!!!

Poor girl! What a scary night! I think having sick kids is the hardest thing about being a mom. There is only so much you can do for them and they are just so miserable and so are you! I just wish I could be sick for him sometimes, it would be easier that way, haha. I hope she gets better soon!
She looks so sad. You are such a good mom! Hope all are well soon
oooohhhhhh. :( she's still so beautiful sad and sick!! hope she feels better...what a sport for cooperating so well!! such a good mommy stef. :)
Oh how sad! She is still cute in the pic! Corban got croup alot too when we lived there! He was even put in the hospital for 4 days when he was six months old! I'm tellin ya you should move to Idaho! Ever since we moved here he has hardly been sick at all! He will maybe get a runny nose for like a day but then it goes away! It's so nice! I haven't had to worry at all about his breathing here! I hope Kylee gets feelin better! Your an awesome mom Stef!
I agree that Kylee still looks beautiful sick and all. :0) And one thing I did for my kids when they got croup was I got them the shot at the doctor. I don't know if your doctor does the shot instead of the medicine, but within a couple of hours, my kids sounded almost like normal!!! It only lasted about a day with the steam shower/humidifier and I didn't have to worry about it anymore. Just a thought. :0)
Get feeling better soon, Kylee!
