Weekend Update

Evie has croup😷

We had a great weekend until the early hours of Sunday. 

Saturday was a gorgeous day - sweatshirt weather with sunshine! We went for a walk along the Sound and played with Evie all day. She had a runny nose, but was otherwise fine. 

 I told Brady it's still strange to see green grass in November... don't see this in Iowa

 My girl!

 Brady is always kissing her

 Haha she's going for it

She woke up at 1:30 AM on Sunday with the worst cough I've ever heard. It sounded like a seal barking. She had a fever and was visibly uncomfortable. We gave her ibuprofen and spent several hours nursing and rocking. She seemed much better throughout the day. She was eating, nursing, and playing as if she wasn't sick. We weren't too concerned until she vomited in the afternoon. That was alarming. We debated whether to visit Prompt Care or wait until her pediatrician visit on Monday morning (this was previously scheduled as her 9-month well check). We ended up waiting until Monday and her pediatrician said it was a mild case of croup, but wrote a prescription for prednisolone in case it gets worse. 

Fortunately, Evie seems to be doing much better! However, Brady and I both woke up on Monday feeling sick - sore throats and congestion. We're hoping to still take a mini-trip for Thanksgiving. Fingers-crossed.
