Well, Levi and I made a delightful trip to the Emergency Room last night a midnight.
Sure enough, he has croup. It came on super fast. Just yesterday morning I started to hear that he was getting sick and by bedtime he had the tell-tale barky cough. And then by midnight he woke up crying and just couldn’t settle down which was making it really hard to breathe. So, off to E.R. we went. They were able to give him some meds and a nebulizer treatment and then we had to wait and be observed for a while before we were released.
Today he has been doing SO much better. For most of the day he was actually basically his chipper self. However, now that we’ve hit afternoon he’s been crying a lot again. Hopefully we’ll all be able to get some sleep tonight!
21 Day Fix Update: Days 13 & 14 = The weekend. Ugh. I actually did really well on Saturday and reasonably well on Sunday. I definitely didn’t blow my day or anything, but there was definietely extra food… for example, I ate a few pieces of candy and had a few chips with Jalapeno dip and a couple sips of apple cider… Like I said–not terrible but not totally on my plan.
21 Day Fix Update: Day 15 is almost done. I actually thought I would have a harder time getting myself to eat right and get in my exercise since I was up so long in the middle of the night. But surprisingly I’ve done just fine! I’ve been super diligent about eating my foods since I cheated yesterday. 🙂
Good job sticking with it today, despite a sick kid and very little sleep. Three cheers for Erica!!!
I actually got back on track today. I find that when someone else is having a successful time on a diet, I get really bad on mine. So the past two weeks have been awful. I didn’t gain much, but I really should have, the way I was eating. And I couldn’t exercise much because I’d strained my hip. But today I was able to exercise pretty normally and my eating has been right on plan so far. Hopefully I can keep it up now.
Nice work! Although I’m sorry to hear of your strained hip… 🙁
