Croup

Dear Amelia -

The weekend started off fun! Friday, we went over to Glamma and Cookies for a bon fire. You had a sleepover while Daddy and I went home to care for the dogs. Saturday, we were suppose to go take your 18 month photos but instead decided to go up to the Miller's cabin for the day to spend some time with your boyfriend Finn!!

Here you are being Finn's backseat driver. This didn't last long, Finn fell down under the car. Oops!

Sunday, Glamma and Cookie picked me up around 8 and we headed up to Duluth. You and Daddy stayed home. We had such a great time at the Memorial! Norman was such a special guy and I always love hangin with the fam! I sure missed you guys tho!
Daddy mentioned that you didn't sleep well on Sunday night. He said you were up every hour. Monday, you cough kept getting worse as did your breathing. We tried to bring you to urgent care but it was Memorial Day so no one was open. We put you down for bed nice and early because you needed your rest. You woke up around 1030 having a really hard time breathing. I freaked. Daddy stayed calm but I could tell he was nervous. We took you to the only 24 hour urgent care there was. Sure enough, you have Croup. Its not as serious as it use to be but it was very scary! Here's a sample of your breathing.

I stayed home with you yesterday and Daddy is staying home with you today. Hopefully you are behaving :)

Love,

Mom
