Croup

Jake and I had a nice skype session with Grandpa Nick last night.  But then as Jake was waving night night to dad, he coughed a few times and dad asked me how Jake's doing.  That was the first cough I'd heard so I figured it was just a tickle.  Well, we wake up this morning to a chesty baby with loud stridor (noisy breathing).  So we decide to take him into the doctors.  Turns out he has a mild case of croup, which is viral.  So no antibiotics.  Just steam him and don't let him over-heat and if he gets a fever, then call back.  But she feels he'll be fine for his next set of innoculations for Friday... and as we're WAY behind because he's been sick on and off, I'm hoping he sticks with the no fever thing so he can get these shots done and dusted. 

But as usual, Jake is just as happy as can be.  Aside from his breathing being loud every once in a while, you wouldn't know he's a bit sick.  So, we'll keep an eye on him and hopefully he'll be right as rain soon.
