Lint and the Croup

Who would have thought someone would be afraid of lint? Cameron was taking a bath the other night and he just became hysterical all of the sudden. Like we had to get him out of the bathtub and he still took a while to calm down. There were a few pieces of lint floating around in the bathtub from their feet (socks). Now this isn't the first time they have had what I call "lint toes" and I am sure it won't be the last. I just thought it happened to be an off night. But sure enough last night at their bath he saw a tiny piece of blue fuzz and started to freak out again. Luckily I was able to distract him enough for it to go away but that was just so funny to me. Who would have thought lint would cause such a stir!

Noah has the croup. Not good. That was one of those things as a child I vividly remember getting. I couldn't breathe. I would go in the middle of the night and stand by my parents bed just wheezing away until they would wake up. I remember this many times as a child. Poor little guy. I took him to the doctor today (it just started in the middle of the night) because I just didn't like the barky sound of his cough. By the time his appointment came around at 11:15 you could hear the wheezing when he was breathing. So little guy is on steroids. I have a tough enough time trying to get him to take anything anymore so the first round was not fun. He probably got less than half of it in him. Will try again in the morning. Sigh. Pray he takes the stuff because I really want my little guy to get better! Here he is laying on the couch this afternoon.

But then this evening he had to play with daddy's phone and I was lucky enough to catch this shot. Priceless in my book!

It snowed most of the afternoon. Big, fluffy white snowflakes. They are calling for several inches overnight and I can't wait to wake in the morning to see it. Maybe we will be able to build a snowman this year! Must try and find sleds for the guys some time as well. There is an awesome sledding hill not too far from us. Everyone has already told us that is where everyone goes to sled. I have never been so this will be an experience the first time we go.

Okay, I'm not feeling too hot myself so off to bed for me. I have a feeling it is going to be a long night...

Hi Lee Anne, Sorry to hear about Noah. We are also dealing with wheezing, nebulizer treatments and steroids. At this point, we are hoping it is not pneumonia. It is always something (only twice as much for you).

Dang, take care of yourself. I sure hope you don't get sick too.
