Landen came home from daycare with a horrible cough ( I immediately suspected the nasty CROUPE). The cough and his breathing got worse through the night. I put Vicks on his chest and fired up the humidifier. He woke up a couple of times really struggling to breathe but would just go back to sleep.
Now this last time he woke up, it was really bad. So I called the Nurse Advisor's Line ( a wonderful thing might I add) and had them listen to his breathing. I was originally going to just set up an appointment for him in the morning, nope... they said I need to bring him 10 minutes ago.
The nurse said he definitely has croupe, but it's apparently a really bad croupeness. She called it Strider Croupe.
I hope he will be alright, Trav took him b/c I have to work in the morning and he will just stay home with him.
What a way to bring in a birthday and holiday.
