The croup?


Maybe. Not sure, but this poor guy just won't stop coughing. Last night, we had to sit in a tent full of humidifier mistiness(?) from 1am-3am. It was a blast and made for an interesting day! Luckily Dr. has a flexible schedule. He has lecture tomorrow morning, but will go pick this baby boy up from daycare after lecture.

It broke my heart today when I picked up Chuck and he immediately fell asleep in the car seat. He took a little nip-nap on my chest when we got home. He did wake up and eat some dinner and then had a bath but can you believe he went back to sleep on my chest RIGHT after the bath while he was still wrapped in a towel and we were still sitting on the stool in the bathroom. He just wouldn't pick that head up. The lip is out farther than it has ever been and when you talk to him he looks at you like he is too tired to even listen to you. We have gotten one smile out of him but it vanished very quickly. I think he may have even been too tired to cry.

So please keep our little Chuckster in your thoughts as we get through this coughiness(?). Hopefully, last night and today were the worst days. He has been sleeping good so far tonight with some Vicks Baby Rub on his chest and the humidifier ( which I am sure has soaked his bed by now). Send good dreams his way. This precious boy could use them.

Kisses from all of us and a little cough from Chuck.
