First trip to the ER

I am now ready to report on the very scary first ER trip. On Sunday night Elsa woke up around 11:30 crying.  Normally she just puts herself back to sleep, but this particular night she wasn't. I got up and went to put her pacifier in her mouth and her cry was not normal. It sounded awful. She was also gasping for air. When she would cough it sounded like seal barking, I almost lost it. Steve called the on call pediatrician and he told us to head to the ER. Better safe than sorry. We were there for about 2 hours. She was in good spirits, charmed the nurses and was diagnosed with croup. She took her meds like a champ, and went right to sleep when we got home at 2am.

Monday: She was happy, but sleepy.

  Tuesday: Feeling much better
