First one to get Mommy a Diet Coke gets a quarter!

In the middle of the night, I had to take Josiah to the ER. He woke up with the croup and was having a really hard time breathing. He has had the croup many times, but this is the firs time he was laboring to get a breath. They gave him a breathing treatment, steroid, took a chest/neck Xray and sent us on our way when everything was fine. By the time we got home he was WIRED from all the medication, so we didn't get any sleep.

Fun Times.

We were able to nap this afternoon and he is running around like he got a full night of sleep. I can barely walk from my computer desk to the fridge (to get a Diet Coke) without feeling lightheaded from lack of sleep. So because I am smart I am having my boys get them for me. Sounds like a great idea for Works for Me Wednesday!!

Why is it that kids just rebound like that and I feel like I have been run over by a Mac truck?

Scary!! I hope you get lots of good sleep this weekend and all that caffeine doesn't keep you awake.

My Julia had croup often when she was little. She would freak me out with not being able to breath. And we've done the trips to the hospital as well. They even kept her one time for a few days it was so bad. Not fun times.
