Croup

So Friday night Elly started getting a wicked cough. Saturday night she spent the night at Owwy & Papa's. Unfortunately, it sounds like no one got much sleep. Last night mommy & Elly for sure didn't get much sleep. So today I took her into Dr. Erickson. Elly has a mild case of croup. Do they give her anything for a mild case...nope. So I went to Target and got a cough suppressant. I know that it says not to give to children under the age of 4 but I still bought it. I will take her weight and measure from that. Dr. Erickson said that basically they have taken everything away for children under the age of 4, unless of course, they are very very sick...and then they are stuck in the hospital. I think I will buy the cough suppressant. I have a video from The Doctors video that diagnoses a cough. I have downloaded it and saved it so that I can always tell what she might have. I think this will be a great tool to have.

Harry is sick too. Yesterday Diesel had to finish the milk route and he took the load up this morning. Thank God for Diesel. He is feeling better today but still not 100%. My mom is also home not feeling the best. I hope Papa & I don't get it.
