Today was all about croup. Timmy started with a fever yesterday. Woke up from nap a bit congested. Fever came back as soon as his medicine wore off. More ibuprofen and bedtime, with vaporizer already working away.
I checked on him at 10, before I went to bed. He was restless, tossing a bit and whimpering my name in his sleep. It was pretty pitiful. And I had a feeling it would be a long night.
It was. He was up, barking cough and feverish, about 1. We were up until 4. We did the steam shower, shut up in the bathroom. Then I just cuddled him and rocked. He breathed better, but couldn’t seem to fall back to sleep. So I finally gave up and laid him down. We slept again until about 6:30.
He was still wheezing a bit when he got up, so I made an appointment to rule out something other than croup. No worries. Just croup. Just. Hopefully, tonight will go better for both of us. He’s one pretty worn out baby. And I’m one tired momma.
