Crouping and Rolling!

I have some sad news and then some really exciting news...We'll start with the sad news.
Baby boy got the croup! Sunday morning he woke up with the classic barky hoarse cough. Later in the day he got a fever up to 101.6. I was pretty sure that's what was going on so we did all the basic stuff...humidifier, suctioned his nose, sat in the steamy bathroom, etc. Sunday night was aweful. He was so miserable he couldn't sleep, but he was SO exhausted. We finally got him to sleep from about 12-4 in his bouncy seat. Then he slept from about 4:30-7 in his bouncy seat again. Monday morning we ended up taking  him to the doctor just be sure that nothing else was needed. Dr. Bill was out all week, so we saw Kiki and D's doctor, Dr. Wamack. He was really really nice. Hopefully that will continue once I work for him ;) He said it was definetely croup. Ears and throat looked good, though. He said we were doing things right and to continue what we had done Sunday. He actually said that Jonah did better than usual for the first night of croup. Probably because mommy and daddy were such good nurses to him! Also, he gave Jonah B two days worth of Orapred.

He still gives us a smile every now and then :)

 He still had a fever up to 101.8 on Monday, but today (Tues) he has been fever-free. He's sleeping a lot, like all day! He's also not eating very well. Instead of 7oz, he's taking more like 2-3oz. He just wants to sleep, poor thing. I'm just sad because I have to go back to work tomorrow and send him to daycare. He's so needy, his teachers really have their work cut out for them!



Now for the exciting news!!! Jonah FINALLY rolled over!!! I don't know if it's the steroids he's on or what, but he did it! We have been wondering when he was going to roll his little hiney over. He just took his sweet time and did it when he felt like it. He rolled over for the first time yesterday (10/1) and then did it again today. We are so very proud of our Squishy! I'm also really happy that I got to see it, and he didn't do it at daycare! Can't wait to see what that little stinker boy will do next! Love you Jonah B!!!!
