The Unexpected Happens

Obviously, knocking on wood is not effective. I had mentioned in a previous post that his last checkup would be the last time M saw his pediatrician unless "something unexpected" happened. So, of course, it did. Last Tuesday I took M in to the after-hours clinic to see Dr. Seawell, and she diagnosed croup and prescribed a steroid pill. Taking care of a baby with croup is tricky enough, but taking of a baby with croup when you are on painkillers and muscle relaxers and can barely walk is MUCH more difficult. Luckily, Debbie helped out a lot, and my back got progressively better so that by Friday I was feeling almost back to normal. Still...what a terrible week! I can't believe we both survived.
