Hi everyone...Shel, don't think I have met you. This must have been before they blended the two groups. Glad to meet you. I have tons of favorite literature but I have a sick Griffin so I can't play in your game. I thought it was allergies and it might be. But he has picked up the croup virus this past weekend at the birthday party. Not fun at all! We don't have the insurance thing figured out so I am tryuing to be proactive. Cameron never got croup, but Ri got it every 6 months from 2-8yrs of age. He always had to go to the ER for breathing treatments. I do not want to end up there today. So humidifier is on. Decogestant is in him, as is his cough medicine. He is watching Tom and Jerry in my bed. It will be a quiet day here. Can all my children be well all at the same time????? Too much to ask. Grif seems to get the worst of it.

Croup's a pain. My kids usually had it at least once, Mat was in the hospital with it at 8 months of age for 4 or 5 days. Now it's hard to find a dr. that can diagnose it properly let alone treat it properly! In B.C. I ended up at a naturalpath who cleared up a nasty case of croup for Foster.

Good luck!!!!

I hope he bounces back quickly...

P.s I don't think I know Shel either, but I've had 2 bouts of going missing myself...

Shel ~ glad you are here, don't think we have met before I will ditto Flower's excuse prior to the groups blending.

Flower ~ I hate that Grif is sick again, it seems like he just can't catch a break. Watch that croup thing, I know the insurance stuff is a crap hole but it is better to take him in if you see him getting any worse.

Wish I could stay in bed and watch Tom and Jerry those were the days


Things here are in full bloom and so are my allergies. I had a killer headache yesterday, couldn't figure if it was from working out or if it was from the pollen. Haven't made it out to the shed yet to hit the tread mill but plan to do at least 2 miles before South Park company show up.

Well hope everyone else is well.

Hugs to you all,

I ended up taking him in to the clinic. The wheezing was bothering me. He had to stop and rest a lot. So we went. He is going to rent me a nebulizer so I can do the breathing treatments at home. And five days of steroids so he doesn't get the hyperventilation thing when he gets wheezy. We did a treatment in the office. Doc was 59$, precriptions 31$ and the rental is suppose to be around 40$. A lot cheaper than a ER visit! They think he might have asthma...we'll have to keep an eye out for him. Luckily he barked in the office, so they knew I wasn't being a worry wart!

dentrassi - Fishwhistle!!! When my boyfriend and I first moved out here, he would take that book to the beach and read it to me. I loved it!!!

Glad I am not the only one who think it sounds like a bark. Sky always sounds like a seal or a duck when she has it.

Amy

Yup, all my kids barked once or awhile. Mat ended up having mild ashma as an older child, when he gets a cold he'll use a puffer. Evan too, but that was when I smoked. I used to smoke outside, but the ashma specialist told me that the ashma-causing particles stick to your clothes for up to 2 weeks.

Talk about a guilt trip.

What a pain to have to pay the doctor!

Lam

Chris smokes. Not in the house. I will have to tell him what you said. Not sure if that will get him to quit. But it is worth a try!

Lamorgan-YES!! Thanks! Wizard of Earthsea is the name of the series!!! Love those books (actually, i love a lot of her stuff!!)

Godess-Sounds WONDERFUL!! DH and I used to read to each other a lot. Things have been so nuts lately that we haven't kept up with the practice. We used to read "Winnie the Pooh" (with"voices" to each other when we were particularly in need of comfort!!) DH LOVES Eeyore, so he threw himself in with gusto!!

Flower-WOW! Griff has been sick a lot this winter. Hope he gets better soon.
