Get Better Soon
Over the weekend our lives seemed to revolve around Chesley being sick. Karl and I spent most of our Saturday caring for him, doing everything we could think of to help. On Friday the Pediatrician had said to give him over the counter drugs and bring him in on Monday if he wasn’t doing better. Chesley’s temperature got as high as 102 F and his breathing was labored because his trachea was swollen. But, by Monday his voice was back and he was no longer laying around the house. Having enjoyed a full night of uninterrupted sleep by coughs and crying we thought that we had made it through. But when we woke up at 2am to Kaden coughing, we knew it wasn’t over yet. Today I’ve spent at least 50% of my day just holding the poor little guy. He’s so miserable and it breaks our hearts to see it. I just hope he feels better tomorrow!

Just to update you…
We ended up taking Kaden to emergency and they said he had croup. (We also found that that what Chesley had was croup too, but I guess it’s more dangerous for babies.)They gave him a steroid shot and sent us home. This morning he is doing so much better and we are glad to have Kaden back to himself again!

Glad to hear they’re both doing better. =)

hey Karl/Denise,
hope Kaden’s croup is clearing up. Thankfully, steroids make the world go round!
Miss you both, hope you’re doing well.
