CROUP (2 1/2 MONTHS TIL 4 YRS OLD)

S got a case of the croup over the weekend. It turns out that the croup is a virus which causes the larynx to swell up. On Saturday night, S woked up several times coughing like she was choking and gagging and complaining that her throat hurt. After several times, she of this she would end up crying. After an eventful Saturday and Sunday night, Monday and Tuesday were quite peaceful. S's fever disappeared by Monday and despite a nagging cough, she was her energetic self on Tuesday, even though she skipped school.

Luckily for S, momma, and daddy that this case of croup was mild.
