croup
pronunciation: /ˈkr{uuml}p/
function: n
: inflammation, edema, and subsequent obstruction of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi especially of infants and young children that is typically caused by a virus and is marked by episodes of difficult breathing and hoarse metallic cough
According to her pediatrician, it lasts 4-7 days. We're on Day 5 of the bad days so that should mean we're nearing the end. So far today, minimal coughing... mostly when in the prone position. But Annie is in the best spirits you can imagine, so apparently it isn't affecting her attitude. And she is super excited to spend time with Mommy today - yea for me!
Also as important, no sign of bugs today. No eggs either. All I can say to that whole deal is GROSS.
Maybe we'll be in shape to go back to school by next week. Hope so... the kids' Easter party is next Wednesday and there's nothing like a good egg hunt with 2 and 4 year olds for a good giggle and fun picture taking opportunity.
Can't wait to see what disasters come up next week while I'm gone!
