First ER visit as a parent

Nora woke us up around 2am Thursday morning with horrible sounding breathing and cough. We called the dr on call and she agreed that she sounded bad enough we should take her to the emergency room. She sounded quite a bit better by the time we got there. She was excited because she got a bracelet, a glowy finger, and orange juice (laced with a steroid). Croup was the diagnosis.


Wednesday evening, the oral steroid wore off and we didn't like the way her breathing looked so I took her to urgent care. She was excited that she got a glowy toe and "turtle medicine like Maya" (aka nebulizer).

She had a follow pediatrician visit today. She finally seems over it.
