On Tuesday night we had to take Kevin to the emergency room. He woke up Tuesday morning with a fever and Nate stayed home and took him to the doctor. He has had croup many times in the past, but his doctor was reluctant to give him a steroid unless he really needed it. Well, let me tell you... he really, really needed it at 3 AM in the ER. We had been awake all night rocking him & sitting in a steamy bathroom, but his breathing kept getting worse.
Everyone at the ER was very nice - who can be so friendly at 3 AM? They gave Kevin a dose of steroids and monitored him for a while. Once we got home at 5:30AM, he slept until 2:30 in the afternoon! I finally woke him up so that he would eat something & sleep okay last night.
Here's hoping he is back to his normal cheerful self just in time for his birthday on Saturday!!!
