Well this has been one incredibly long week. Monday Jaren started running a fever of 102.5 and with meds and all it was not coming down. Monday night it went up to 103.6 and the next morning, despite the snow on the roads we slowly went to the dr. He didn't find a certain thing wrong with him so we came home.
Tuesday night I did not get to bed for the 1st time till 6am. Jaren was up most of the time. Dan went on to school that morning but I called him around 10am to have him come home so we could take Jaren in again. The Dr. office wanted us to go to the hospital because Jaren would need treatments that the Dr. office couldn't give him. SO we spent several hours there. He was diagnosed with severe Croup and we were sent home with Steroids and Breathing treatments.
He is doing better but when we went back to the Dr. today they gave him more steroids to make sure the swelling stays down around his voice box. Croup is the baby's form of Laryngitis. He seems to be on the mend but this Mommy will be glad when it is over.

Hope your little man is feeling a lot better. I stumbled upon your blog and was reading this because I had the exact same issue the week of Christmas, except we were back and forth with a double ear infection and a high fever. Couldn't be at a worse time. Enjoy your weekend!
