Clarissa

My cute little Clarissa went in for her nine month checkup yesterday. She was 17 lbs. 12 oz. and 27.2 inches long. She is cutting four teeth right now so she went in to the appointment with a runny nose. As the afternoon continued on she started getting a really nasty cough. Needless to say I was up most of the night holding a sick child who could barely breathe and she was burning up pretty quickly. As soon as the Tylenol kicked in she would be able to calm down a bit. After talking with the nurse today we will be going back to the doctor's office to get checked out this afternoon. They may give her a shot that will help her breathe tonight since she says that it gets worse at night. Yuck! Let's just hope they can help ease her discomfort.

***Back from the Doctors. She has the croup. They gave her a shot that will help open up the airways. Hopefully we will get a little bit of sleep tonight.
