Croup

Owen came down with croup over the weekend. He didn't have much of an appetite on Thursday and Friday. Then the cough started Friday afternoon. That night was tough for him and his cough just kept getting worse. Sunday was definitely the worst day. His energy level wasn't normal either, so we knew he wasn't doing well. So today we took him into the dr. After we set up the appointment, Owen was running around pretty good. But we still wanted him looked at in case there was something else going on. Everything looked good (lungs, heart, throat and ears). The cough has really subsided today too (not the barking it was before, thankfully).

If you've never heard a croup cough before, it's really quite terrible! I had only heard about it, but once Owen started, I knew what it was. Guess it's a virus that needs to run its course. He is on the back end of it, so hopefully we're done for a while!
