Luc has Croup... Now honestly how many of you actually knew that babies still get croup? First off I thought it was just a name that moms give to a certain type of cough and second I haven't heard of a baby getting it since I was a kid and my mom talked about so and so's baby having croup. It's a viral infection in the voice box which leads to constricted airways and makes breathing very difficult. And it stinks. Luckily we took him in yesterday and he got a steroid shot to help the cough and antibiotics for the oncoming ear infection. Now I just need an IV drip of caffeine to get me through the days after 2 nights in a row of up every 45 minutes.
You're allowed to feel sorry for me and tell me what a wonderful mom I am for caring for my sick little angel. Luc will be just fine. Don't you know this is really about me. Come on. Give me some love.

I"m so sorry. Lack of sleep is not fun and I don't handle it well. Hope he is well soon. Hang in there!
I actually hear more about croup than the average person seeing as how my parents have been/are both respiratory therapists--my dad is at Primary Children's Hospital. But back to the real point-- there is nothing worse than no sleep and I hope Luc gets better soon.
I had no idea that croup was real outside of Anne of Green Gables.
I'm so sorry for the lack of sleep. I will hereby stop feeling sorry for myself, you've got it much worse. There - is that enough love for you?
I totally feel for you. I had two kids this weekend sick with croup. Way fun!!! Once they get the steriod shot, it's much, much better. I'm still hoping that Hunter doesn't get it.
I figured out that since Sarah got it when she was 1 yr. old, I've had at least one kid get it every winter. Here's to the fourth winter and two kids getting it at once! :)
Jake got croup at least once a month when he was a baby. (Along with ear infections!) What a nightmare. I'm so sorry Luc has it too. I'm just grateful they have steroids now. Can you imagine how horrible it would be without them? Hang in there. Jake's 7 and he hasn't had a really bad bout with croup for 7 months or so! :)
i also thought it wasn't "real" hope he is doing better!
I'm really really sorry about Luc having croup, I hope he's feeling better!! The lack of sleep, I am completely feeling it, so I am really sorry!!!
