Croup

We went to the doctor's office today for a sick visit :( My son Marcus is not feeling well since last night. For some reasons, he just developed dry cough and fever which makes him fussy. Earlier today, his fever is 100.6 and with the dry cough, i know i need to call his doctor. I talked to the nurse and we were asked to come at the clinic at 3pm. Doctor said it's croup. Sounds scary: Croup. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croup

He said that we just have to comtinue giving him fluids, steam in the bathroom would also help and so is cold air outside the house (just make sure the baby is bundled) that would help him breathe better. No medications are given to us since it is a viral infection and it will go away in a few days on its own. I am still worried with my baby but at least we got an expert advice and we are not guessing what's going on. This cough is scary because of the barking cough, and the baby feels really uncomfortable. 

Anyways, it's my son Russell's last day of winter vacation and too bad we cannot go out today. Marcus is not feeling well and the weather.... it's raining and snowing...ughh. Not good. It's a good thing that we already went out yesterday to chuckecheese with our friends. After that we got a satisfying lunch at imperial buffet. Yummy! love love sushi! :)

Hope my dear Marcus gets well very soon.
