croup.

poor baby lane has croup. and yes, it is as terrible as it sounds. last night (sunday) out of no where he started coughing and having a hard time breathing. he sounds like a coughing gremlin. oh, we feel so sorry for him. growing up and still to this day, if i was/am sick my mom always says "if i could take it away i would" i've never fully understood the depth of that till lane. ah, i just want to take it away for him. i would so much rather be sick, in pain, then have lane feel down. we went to the dr today, had a breathing treatment (20 minutes of crying/coughing) and a shot of antibiotic. so happy we went today because the doc said the 2nd and 3rd night are always the worst...tonight's our 2nd. hopefully we're one step ahead of this "croup."
*vance as a baby had croup every time he was teething. it could be in the genes? we're in for the long haul...

lane was treated to an extra long bath tonight. he even offered up some raspy smiles. and yes...that's a laundry basket. it works great to prevent him from slipping all around in the tub. genius idea.

What a bummer! Poor Lane & poor Mommy! Not fun for both of you! On a lighter side, what a good idea with the laundry basket in the tub!:)
