March 19, 2009 "Keegan and the Croup"

Well, Keegan had a very bad night. About 10:30pm he started "barking". He had the croup. We had to take him into the bathroom and run the shower so it got all steamy. We set up 3 humidifiers in his room, and I slept on the floor next to his crib all night. By midnight it was like a sauna in his room, but it really helped his breathing. He was still running fever this morning, so I took him to the doctor. His one ear is red, so the doctor gave me antibiotics. But, because he has a strange rash on his leg, she suggested I not start it unless he gets worse. He seems to be feeling better, being sick doesn't really bother him. He's just a little lethargic. I'm afraid Keira's coming doown with it too, she's been sleeping all day and sounds congested. This is the worst time for daddy to be out of town on business. I don't like being alone when the kids are sick. Hopefully they'll both be feeling better soon.

Keira is finally holding her own sippy cup.
