"Hey if I mix this in with my milk, will it make me feel better?"

Poor Brady has come down with a MONSTER cold and croup. He has snot running from his nose like Niagara falls. So much snot that I think he is supplementing his diet with it as it runs into his mouth. Grosssss, I know!

This all started Monday. He is improving now and that is a huge relief to us all. Monday night he was coughing and struggling to breath so Jeff and I carted him off the the ER at about 11 at night. Typically, we would have scurried out of the house in a panic, but given our past experiences we have become seasoned pros. Jeff and I remained calm and got Brady the help he needed. Which in the end was a dose of steroids and a big hug from the doctor. Brady has handled this cold better than we anticipated. A few months ago a bug of this magnitude would have landed us in the hospital for a week. This is a great indicator that his airway is getting stronger. YEAH!

Today Brady hasn't had a fever and has begun playing and laughing again, a refreshing sight for tired and worried parents. He is a trooper!
