I had to take Owen to the ER in the middle of the night on Friday because he was having trouble breathing. Turns out he had croup. They immediately gave him a breathing treatment, then a steroid. We had to wait it out in the ER for 3 hours. Then they decided they needed to keep him and repeat the treatments, so we checked into a room. Since they kept giving him treatments until the pediatrician came round, we ended up having to stay until 6:00 Saturday night to make sure the medication wore off and didn't produce any "rebounds." It was amazing how quickly the medications worked. He's completely back to normal right now and was bored all day on Saturday.
We thought he looked like an elephant.
He always has an appetite--in less than 12 hours time he ordered 3 pancakes, grapes (twice), eggs, and a cheeseburger!
Adam told him he could pick what he wanted for dinner tonight--steak! Yes, Adam fired up the grill in 2o degree weather!

Looks like he's loving the hospital food! Brady loved the soup he had in the hospital - pretty much broth that he drank through a straw. Whatever works!
It's good to see he's feeling better. Seems like there's a lot of kids with croup this year. Hope you all stay healthy over the holidays!
how scary! glad to hear that he made a quick turnaround.
