Croup

Caden was sick for 2 weeks...high fever, throwing up, croup, etc. etc. Seemed to never go away. Then...xander. It felt like over night he started breathing heavily. No real warning signs. I went to work on Thursday and then came home to find him breathing so hard that his stomach was retracting and the area around his clavicle bones and neck were sunk in with each breathe. At that point, I knew we better go to the doctor. The nurse assumed the doctor would send us to the hospital because Xander needed steroids that only the hospital could administer. So we went and spend 2 days there. After the meds kicked in, he came to life again..so to speak. He had more energy. With more energy, left mom with less energy. It was hard keeping him entertained in a sterile room with no toys or gadgets for him to play with. So...it was either in my arms or in his cage (what I suppose was a crib but looked more like an animal cage), and he didn't like it in his crib.
Thankfully, he is home now and doing much better. Fever is gone and cough is gone. Now we are praying that braxton doesn't get it...Thanks for your prayers and support. I'm praying it's not a long winter.....
