We have had a crazy week. Evan started to get sick a week ago when Aunt Colleen came to visit us. She kept him home from day care for the day and got to hang out with him, but he wasnt really feeling well. It started out as a cold and then he developed a fever. It started to go away (or so we thought) on Sunday, so we sent him to day care on Monday. Well by the end of the day Monday he had gotten much worse. So it was off to the doctor! It turns out, Evan has croup. He is very congested and is wheezing a lot. He also has a cough that sounds more like a seal barking. To say the least, he has been pretty miserable. We felt so helpless because there was nothing that we could do for him. We finally started him on some antibiotics and asthma medication. It has helped so much!! He is feeling much better, but he still has the cough and wheezing. He is acting more like himself again and I think things are moving in the right direction. He was at day care the last two days and they said that he was doing better too. He had been sleeping through the night for about 6 weeks, but has gotten up 4 of the last 5 nights. His mommy is also sick, so it has been hard on all of us. Having a sick baby is no fun at all! We all hope to be healthy before making the trip to NY for Christmas!
