The week of October 21-25 was Emmy's fall break, so it was well-timed, since we had planned to keep her home anyway, but it was also her FOURTH bout of croup. It seems that anytime she gets a respiratory virus, it's going to turn into croup (and it seems to happen every six months). This time, the doctor didn't think she needed steroids, so we got through it with just fever/pain reducers, the humdifier and lots of icepops/suckers.
But I am really tired of croup. I'm tired of the seal bark cough. I'm tired of how uncomfortable it makes her.
She's finally getting better now, and her cough is down to just a regular congested cough instead of the seal bark. We'll see you again in July, croup.
