Last night we had the joy of waking up at 2am to Daniel coughing, wheezing and gasping for breath. After a quick call to Dr. Mathie our pediatrician,(yes she took the call at 2:30am how awesome is that) we headed up to the Children's Hospistal Emergency room. The Doctor on duty that night said he had never seen such a happy baby with croup! The treatment,come to find out, is an oral steroid. The same steroid that Charlie is on as part of his chemotherapy maintenance drugs. He is doing much better today after the drugs and we are looking forward to a less croupy Christmas!
