This makes the 6th time James has had croup.
Saturday evening, he seemed a bit off his game (staring into space, not eating as well as usual), but had no signs of sickness. Then he woke up with the tell-tale cough on Sunday morning. And a slight fever. Throughout the day, his cough got worse, his fever spiked 102.5, he didn't want to eat (not even a milkshake!), his eyes were constantly watering, his nose was constantly running, and his throat was swollen (he willingly let us take a look, then started to inform us that it "huht" every time he coughed - poor kid). Yup, it was a doctor visit kinda day today. Luckily, we were in and out within 30 minutes this morning (that's a record, I'm pretty sure!) and sent home with an Rx and a shot in the leg. James was SO good for 3 hours at work with me (he watched WALL-E by request, for the 4th time since Saturday... it's hard to deny a sick kid), then we packed it in to get him home in time for nap. He barely lasted 2 minutes in the car before he was out cold...
