Croup...

Well, it has hit us...croup!  Poor Reags, just as she was feeling better from her terrible fever last week, she woke up coughing, more like barking, on Monday morning.  I said to Keith right away, that sounds like croup, but I think he was still in dreamland :) 

He took Reags to the doctor yesterday morning (because I had a doctor's appointment) and low and behold, it was croup.  They gave her a liquid steroid at the doctor's office to help with the cough and I think that helped out a lot!  My mom drove down yesterday afternoon, THANK YOU, because, as you can imagine, I was a nervous wreck!!  That cough is terrible, even though during the day it really wasn't that bad.  Last night I didn't think I was going to be able to sleep at all, but I did finally fall asleep for a couple hours before I heard her start coughing.

Thankfully, it wasn't a terrible cough though!  I was SO happy!!  I am PRAYING that tonight goes maybe a little better than last night (due to lack of sleep), but we didn't have to do a steam shower or rock outside in the cold, just coming in bed with Mommy and Daddy seemed to do the trick. 

How scary though!  Poor Reagan, I swear...for being a not sick type of girl, she is making up for it.  Thankfully, Reags seems to feel okay, not 100% herself, but not as lethargic as she was last week either.  I hope that whatever this virus is running through her little body is GONE and will not come back for a very, VERY long time!!
