Mark has croup!

Well last night Mark had a pretty bad cough, a fever, he was wheezing and was all around a pretty sick little kid. So this morning I took him to the doctor (I was super scared that he may have the swine flu) and discovered he has croup. I have been sent home with a slew of medicines to administer, and a sick little baby to care for. The poor thing.
Anyway my ped said that croup is pretty common this time of year, but he had seen some pretty mean strains so far. That's what I wanted to share... that, apparently, a mean strain of croup circulating around this winter.

Thanks ladies! After 24 hours on meds he seems to be doing a lot better. But, for that first night, I was worried sick.
