Enough of this Croup..I mean CRAP!!
Lincoln started coughing last weekend, and I didn't really think much of it at the time. Then as the week went on he started to sound worse and worse. I kept thinking that there was a barking seal in Linc's crib. I took him to the Dr on Monday and all she had to hear was his cough and knew that it was Croup. The Dr gave him 2 doses of steroids (which, by the way, I was very disappointed when Linc didn't turn into Super Baby!) and I thought that would take care of it. Unfortunately I was way wrong. His cough got worse, with an added runny nose, fever, and I could tell he hurt everywhere. I tell ya, now that I have experienced having a sick child, I can say it is one of the worst things ever! I feel so helpless like there is nothing I can do for him. Yes I can give him medicine, yes I can take his temp, and yes I can try everything that I am told might make him feel better. But in the end, none of that takes the so sad look off of his cute little face. I can just look at him and know that he is so uncomfortable and miserable. Not being able to make him feel better by rubbing his back or tickling his face makes me so frustrated. I am the Mom! I AM supposed to make him FEEL BETTER!!!!! Anyway, I am just so thankful that he is starting to feel better. Or at least I am guessing he is feeling somewhat better considering that when I turned on Super Why (his favorite cartoon) he started bobbing his head back and forth so much I thought he might hurt himself. It took a lot out of Jeff and I, but that Lincoln is totally worth it! I love that little man!

That poor little kid. I can totally empathize with you right now with wanting to do everything you can for your child so that they feel better!! Just think, when he's all completely better, Brooklyn should be home to meet him, yea!!
ReplyDeletePoor baby. Here's a hug for you. You're the mom. And you're an incredibly awesome mom, but moms can't make everything better. It's a hard lesson to learn. But, being a mom you can be there right through it all with lots of love and all the little things that moms do to make it easier. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteI hate it when they are sick! I am glad he is feeling better. BTW Thanks for turning me into a Gleek. I started watching it this season after you posted something about it. I love it!
