Somehow my poor little man caught the croup in the middle of summer ;(. B took him to the doctor yesterday and we thought we’d be all set, but he started getting worse as the evening wore on and I did not like the way his breathing sounded when he was sleeping.

So I dragged him to our local Urgent Care (which is also a 24 hour emergency room) and we were seen right away (score!). L is usually a sport about going to the doctors and always chats it up with the doctors and nurses. Not last night though. He was SO mad I dragged him out of bed and keep saying “but I did NOT want to come here”. Poor guy :(. Lucas had to get a special breathing treatment to open up his airways which required monitoring for 2-6 hours after it was administered. L spent the time sleeping (and not coughing thankfully), while I spent the time reading People and Vanity Fair. I can’t remember the last time I sat quietly and read a magazine from cover to cover. Luckily L did not have any of the rebound effect that they worry about and we were sprung after the two hours.

So basically, this is why I didn’t have a post this morning. We had a late night and came home and crashed. We are taking it easy today (lots of cartoons and liquids) and hoping the worst is over.  Normal posting to resume soon!
