Nathaniel came down with croup last Tuesday night, and it was terrible! We were up almost all night, and the next night as well. My parents had planned to visit that week, and I took Nathaniel to the pediatrician after we picked up my parents from the airport. The Dr. immediately diagnosed him with croup, which is swelling around the vocal cords. Luckily the Dr. didn't think Nathaniel looked as bad as some of the other cases she'd seen.
It was a rough week, and we went back to the Dr. Monday afternoon (after my parents left) for a recheck. They checked his O2 stats, and luckily they were good. They gave us an inhaler to make sure his lungs stayed clear as the croup would head that direction if it wasn't expelled. Anyways, both baby and mom were very tired. Plus disappointed that we didn't get to do more with my parents here. But thankfully he is getting better, and that's all that matters. We have been blessed that he has been as healthy as he has thus far.
