Croup

Chance is feeling yucky. He came down with a runny nose yesterday and he has progressed to a croupy cough. He was up at least six times between 8 and 10 PM last night, and then up again at midnight and 2:30 AM. He slept from 2:30 until 8 AM, but Cam heard him around 6, wheezing. The nurse that I phoned this morning called that "stridor". It is scary to listen to him breathing like that.

I have an appointment with our doctor at 4 PM. We will do his normal 12-month check up too, so I will get an updated weight and length. On the bathroom scale, he is getting close to the 22-lb. mark now, so it will be interesting to see what the doctor's scale says. When Chance is 12 months old and 22 lbs we can turn him around to face the front in the car seat.
