Skip just got the dreaded croupy cough. We caught it early, nebbed him and gave him preflam, but his coughing frequency and sound was getting worse, so after bundling him up warmly, hubby has now taken him to the ER while I stay home with little Skip, who is also sporting a cough, although not a croupy one.

I would normally have been the one to take Skip, but I am under docs orders not to do any awkward lifting (like carrying a flopping gangly half asleep nearly 5 year old child) on account of the fact that I developed a small hernia after shifting stuff when we were moving.

We really have had a good long run without illness in the family, and given the small exclusive nature of Skips school, it has meant him staying healthier than last year at his old school.

Right, off to wait to hear what the doc says…
