Recovering...

The little ones are sick and that always makes for lazy days around here.  It started at the end of last week with Brynn running a little bit of a fever and then coughing, congestion, being whiny and really sleepy.  Just as she started to get over it, Evan started.  

Monday night/Tuesday really early morning was  rough for the poor guy.  He had a high temperature, his cough sounded like a barking seal, and when he breathed he sounded like Darth Vader.  After a lukewarm bath, some Tylenol and cuddling he was able to go back to sleep.  Tuesday morning, off to the pediatrician we went.

The doctor took one listen to his cough and diagnosed it as croup.  He prescribed us some oral steroids, told us what to look out for and sent us on our way.  We are running the humidifier in his room constantly and bundling them up and taking walks in the cool night air.

I'm hopeful that they both start feeling better soon!

{Special thanks to my Mom and Co. for watching them while we were out of town and they were both sick.  It is no easy feat, that's for sure!  So, thanks Mom..love ya bunches!}
