Fact #1:
Nobody at Casa Juniper slept last night.
Fact #2:
(From the Mayo Clinic website. Emphasis mine.)
Croup has an unmistakable sound — a harsh, repetitive cough similar to the noise of a seal barking. Attacks of croup often jar children awake and leave them frightened and gasping for breath. Croup can be scary for parents, too, but it's usually not serious. Because children have small airways to begin with, those younger than age 5 are most susceptible to croup.
Fact #3:
On his birthday tomorrow, E will be 6 years old.
Fact #4:
A date he smiled as he remembered it out loud this morning at 5:43 am, between rounds of puking and coughing.
Speculation #1:
Guess he was trying to squeeze in everything possible while he was still 5, huh?

praying for you all.
blessings for a quick recovery.
and did you preach after this night?
aie.
Oh, YUCK. My niece had croup, and by all accounts, it's awful.
So sorry.
Hope he's feeling better!
P.S. #1 Son was my croupy child, and sadly went out in the County Spelling Bee on that very word. Be sure Elijah knows how to spell it!
Oh, hugs and rest all around. That's yucky.
I'm so sorry for your night! Our son, too, had croup well past "under five." I felt totally cheated by these later bouts. I thought we had all done our time. It is such a scary sound.
I hope this was the last one for E (and his parents).
PS We're happy to share any techniques that worked for us. But I figure you probably have it down by now, too.
