Update

It was the croup after all. Pig's ped prescribed steroids and told K that that night (Friday) would be the worst but would slowly get better. The likely viral host was a little boy at Pig's daycare who ended up hospitalized so I stayed worried. So we had another sleepless night but at least we knew what we were up against and had a plan. K took Pig into our shower and created a steam sauna, the two of them emerging with matching hairdos and drowsy expressions. The medication was administered and humidifier filled to the brim and the night began...

Saturday was a mucous-y, cranky day. Pig was over-tired and unhappy with the world. She was still to sick to really do anything other than play around the house so we skipped her first swim lesson that morning and hung out, fighting a mountain of mucuous that was pouring out of her nose. She got another steam shower and then we decided to forego the steroids since the nose was bothering her more and try a small dose of baby Benadryl and a little baby vapo-rub.

Sunday was a bit better. She slept a bit more Saturday night so not as cranky. K took Anoki to the vet, got a refill on the pain meds, more about this later.

And other news, K has to watch his cholesterol. I'd been nagging and nagging him about eating more and better and after getting a printout from our GP and a little lecture, he finally believes.

I hate this weather.
