Oh Croup

Here are some of the pictures from the holiday week!


What 
a weekend!  My little guy went to his first Jazz game and it really took him a while to start having fun.  He cried and cried for almost the whole first quarter before Jami took him out and he took a little nap.  We then went to the Huntsman suite to watch the second half of the game and Will seemed to be a lot happier then. 

In the middle of the night I got up and checked on Will because it sounded like he was crying, but it wasn't very loud and sure enough, he was screaming but his voice was really hoarse.  I proceeded to do all that I could to try and take care of the little guy including using saline in his nose, getting all the congestion out of his nose, filling up and turning on his humidifier, feeding him, changing him, checking his nose again, giving him a dose of Tylenol, and getting him to sleep.   I stayed by him for about another 20 minutes to make sure that he was sleeping ok before saying a prayer that he would be ok for the time and then going to bed.  In total, I was up from around 1:30 to about 3.  He just seemed to have a hard time breathing with all of the congestion in his chest.  I took him to the doctor and she said that he had croup and an ear infection and another one possibly in the other ear.  My poor baby was so cranky and unhappy, but now he is sounding so much better.  He isn't hoarse anymore, but he has been cranky still.  That should hopefully clear up in the next few days before the trip to california for tamale day!
