Like I said, it has been smooth sailing all week. The ladies at the clinic invited Logan's big sister Alexis to a Germ Lite Princess Party at the clinic, and she had a great time. She even took her friend Brailey, and a good time was had by all. Logan went with me to drop the girls off and he was having a good time. It was hard to get him to leave. Partly because he was playing with Delaney's costume. She came to the princess party dressed as Darth Vader. She is such an amazing little girl with her own individual personality. So, instead of not going to the fun party at the clinic, she came her own way. Impressive for such a young girl. Of course, Logan was inspired and had to go straight home and put on his Darth Vader costume.
So, everyone had a great time and then we came home and put the kids to bed just like normal. Logan had been running around and playing like any other day. Imagine our surprise when we heard him coughing and crying at about 9:30. We went into his room and he was coughing and trying to catch his breath and crying. It was more than a little scary since we were having a hard time getting him to calm down and his breathing was so labored. We called the doctor's office, and they advised us to go to the emergency room. We packed a bag just in case, and headed off to the ER. The good news is that he never had a fever and just has croup. They gave us a dose of steroids to calm the inflammation of his airway and sent us home. It is a virus so no antibiotics, so that is good. We have a prescription for another dose of steroids if he has trouble again tonight. And I can already tell they have kicked in. Not only does his cough sound better (though he is not really coughing), but he is super hungry. He has eaten three times already this morning. Here's hoping it is a calm, uneventful weekend.
