Winterwonderland
Its snowy and COLD here right now, actually the coldest it has ever been. Last night Malmo hit a cold record, -22c. I dont even think Malmo has ever seen this mush snow as we have now. I love it, this is what winter/ Christmas is all about =)
My sick little guy!
2 nights ago Neo woke up at 10p with a dark barking sounded cry ... he fell back to sleep with no problem after food, i checked for fever, which he didnt have, so we decided to wait it out and see how the following day looked. It was the same dark barking type voice, more tired and mommy then usual. I called a children information line and they adviced me to go to the emergancy as soon as I could as he is so small.
We arrived at 7p, by 11p the doctor could FINALLY see us, at 11.15p medication was given and at 12p we were able to go home. My little guy was such a good boy during this whole thing, but was sooo tired when he finally could relax in the car ride home.
Today has been a better day, and he is souding alot better. He has been alseep for 3 hours now, but already woken up twice with the dark barking cry, so nights are more difficult the days! Por little guy =( but as the dr said... it sounds worse then it is! I really hope that is the case casue it sounds horrible! Lets hope he gets better to celebrate his first Christmas!
Croup is a condition that causes an inflammation of the upper airways — the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea). It often leads to a barking cough or hoarseness, especially when a child cries.
At first, a child may have cold symptoms, like a stuffy or runny nose and a fever. As the upper airway (the lining of the windpipe and the voice box) becomes progressively inflamed and swollen, the child may become hoarse, with a harsh, barking cough. This loud cough, which is characteristic of croup, often sounds like the barking of a seal.
If the upper airway becomes increasingly swollen, it becomes even more difficult for a child to breathe, and you may hear a high-pitched or squeaking noise when a child inhales (this is called stridor). A child also may tend to breathe very fast and might have retractions (when the skin between the ribs pulls in during breathing). In the most serious cases, a child may appear pale or have a bluish tinge around the mouth due to a lack of oxygen. Symptoms of croup are often worse at night and when children are upset or crying.
