It was inevitable that Connor was going to get sick at some point and on Thursday night it came on. He had a subtle snore when he was sleeping Thursday night and he slept poorly but didn't really have much more than a little congestion. So we headed up to my parents house because Steve was working in the East Bay for the weekend. Steve and I went out to dinner in Walnut Creek and left Connor with his attentive grandma and grandpa for a couple of hours. We came home to a sick little man. He had a barking cough and stuffy nose and he was not happy about it. He had the classic symptoms of croup. So we steamed up the bathroom and sat in the steam for a while and then held him upright to sleep. We saw the pediatrician Saturday morning and she diagnosed him with croup. He got a breathing treatment in the office. She also prescribed an oral steroid. My mom came home with me to help which was awesome. He was acting like his usual smiley self, he just had a hoarse "voice" and croupy cough. He slept poorly Sat night and was up early on Sunday. He had an okay day today, played, ate, napped, smiled, etc. And we will see how the night goes, by the way it's looking now, it's gonna be rough. He is really fighting going to sleep. He doesn't want to be put down so momma and poppa may not sleep much tonight.
Wish us luck and Connor health.
