Back on the meds...

Dear Nicky,

You had an awful night last night. Your sinuses were totally congested and on top of that, you had the croup. The croup! Man, that is the worst. You were up all night. I can only imagine what it feels like for you, but if you're a parent and you hear your kid with a barking cough like that, making such an effort to draw a breath, well, that stuff just freezes your blood. So this morning we hustled over to the docs, got some more antibiotic, got some oral steroid (the most effective thing for croup), and got that stuff in you stat. If you're okay tonight, we won't do any tomorrow. If you're still barking and wheezing, you get one more dose.

Love,
Dad
