She 's got the CROUP
Friday Taytum started having a runny nose and was very stuffy. Friday afternoon we went and bought a really good thermometer and the poor baby had 101 temp. We decided that she should sleep in her swing in our room so we could put her pacifier in faster and would not have to get up and walk to her room. I was up several times from 11 to 4 to suck boogers and re pacify. At 4 I noticed that her breathing was faster and faster and then she started to cough. She sounded like a seal barking and was miserable. I just cried knowing I could not make it better for my baby. At 5:30 we went to the er where they diagnosed her with Croup. They gave her breathing treatments which relaxed her airway and helped her to relax. Then the nurse gave her a shot of steroids. She didn't stop crying after that. She cried till we were done and got back in the car. Then cried again at the house until I put her in her own bed and she finally slept. She has been so sick and crying all the time. She is whining to me now and her voice is so hoarse. I got her to take her medicine this morning but the poor baby is soo soo sick

Oh no! I'd heard she was sick; it's so hard to watch your baby be miserable. Let me know if you need anything!
aww! Poor baby! I hope she feels better really soon. You are a great mommy!
