Sick Buggy

Poor Grayson...sick little Buggy.

I picked Grayson up from "school" on Friday to find him with a bad cough and having lost his voice --completely :(

I figured I would get him seen at normal hours on Monday...I could not wait that long.

Late Saturday night he woke up multiple times coughing so badly he was choking and could not catch his breath so I finally woke up really early and took him to the ER where the doctor said he thought he had Croup and gave him a dose of a steroid and said we would notice a huge improvement within 12 hours.....

No improvement.

So I took him to his normal pediatrician today, where she said she absolutely did not think it was Croup but that he definitely seems to have an Upper Respritory Infection :(

Blah.

So she gave him antibiotics for 10 days, ear drops and eye drops (he had drainage coming from not only his nose, but his eyes and ears as well).

I hope he starts feeling better soon.

I have to say, he is the best sick little baby ever. He is not grumpy or mean. He is so happy and content -just sick.

I also have to say, it is very strange having him without a voice. This boy is the most vocal baby I have ever known...he always talks and giggles and screams with joy........nothing......he tries to hit the high pitches and nothing comes out, every now and then he will get a little whisper of a noise....and oh gosh dont even get me started on when he starts getting tired or really not feeling well and tries to cry....you cant hear that he is crying...it is so sad but also the cutest thing ever. Is that wrong? :p

Hopefully all this medicine will get him feeling better!

Here is a little video of him without his voice :)

to the monster star and back <3
