Sick again

Poor Pig was up all night coughing, groaning, whimpering, and crying...and we have no freaking idea why. It wasn't at all like her usual colds....she managed to sleep through most of the night when she had her sinus infection last year....but this time, she'd wake up every 30-45 minutes or so. I'd walk into her room and find her poor sleepy little self sitting up, holding her stuffed animal and crying.

She was having trouble breathing so we made sure her humidifier had plenty of water and turned down the heat to 69. Usually that would help her get through the night. Nope. So we gave her a large drink of water thinking her throat was dry from mouth breathing. Nope. So around 3 am, we changed her diaper, gave her a dose of baby tylenol, administered saline nasal drops, suctioned out her nostrils, and some more water. Not really. She slept for maybe a few hours and then woke up again fretful.

I'm afraid it's croup. K is taking Pig to her pediatrician today so fingers crossed that it's only a teeny cold.
