Croup - in June - times THREE!!!!



Brecken is the latest victim. Kesley had to get a steroid shot on Saturday (she doesn't look too bad in her picture but trust me, she was not pleasant and still isn't very pleasant - but who can blame all of them), Cameron on Tuesday, and Brecken today. Croup is such a yucky little beast because there is nothing they can give kids for it (and as you can see if very contagious) except give them a steroid to reduce the swelling in their throat. It is worse at night but all 3 had trouble in the day so I didn't wait until night (which could have resulted in trips to the ER) for it to get really really bad. What a fun week it has been. Now if my allergies would go away I would be much better off.

Sad. Croup is scary! Since when have you had allergies? Did you know I am allergic to the world outside of Utah? I never had symptoms there, but here, I'm a mess! I've done 4 years of immunotherapy injections and I'm finally ALMOST allergy free!!!

I HATE croup!!! This is the first year we haven't had it with Ella. I can't imagine three at one time. You poor thing. Wish I was there to help out :)
