Croup, There It is!

Our healthy girl who made it through all of flu season with only one nasty cold, has croup. Croup! Well, it's super mild. In fact, she never had "the" cough that everyone knows so well and sends you looking around for seals in your house. But she had 48 hours of fever, followed by a night of crying where on the inhale, we heard that seal sound. The next day she was fever-free and felt great...but I just wasn't sure. Thankfully, when we got to the doctor, Abby did her emotional crying thing and she got to hear, first hand, the seal cry (after telling me that croup normally isn't a crying thing. it's a coughing thing. duh.) So, to head it off at the pass, Abby gulped down the tiny bit of steroids that they gave her and last night, with humidifier blasting, she slept till 6am without a cough or cry. Waahoo! Now if only G and I could kick the nasty cold we've gotten. Here's to only getting better and better. Vitamin C we love you!
