My poor little Ellie is sick with the croup.
It all started with the sniffles, which led to icky running nose and huge green boogies.
And then the barking took over.
I spent a large portion of what should have been my sleeping hours last night in our bathroom with the shower running, sitting in the steam with my little lady.
I think I managed to squeeze in 45 minutes of sleep before Alex came home and took her for another steam.
From that point I managed to steal another hour of sleep.
After nursing her in our bed, I got up to see this.
Thankfully she is starting to feel better now and her bark is fading away!
Here’s hoping tonight involves sleep and not steam!

Poor Little Sick Boy
My poor little Alexander is sick.
He hasn’t been himself since last Tuesday.
On Tuesday we all had a stomach bug that was not pleasant.
He started coughing really bad Wednesday night.
By Thursday he added a fever to the mix.
By Friday we had a cough, fever, running nose and puking.
Saturday night after a day of dosing with Triaminic for the cough and Tylenol for his fever he was coughing so hard he kept waking himself up and he his fever just wasn’t going away, he was sweating and he was freezing.
We found ourselves in the ER around 11:30 pm.
Diagnosis – Bilateral ear infection.
We left with a prescription for an antibiotic.
Here we are, Tuesday morning and he is not doing any better.
The cough is getting worse and he is just miserable.
Looks like mommy is calling the Dr’s office for an appointment today!
