Charlie Monkey is sick with the croup. While this might just be something annoying for any other kid... it's a big deal when it comes to Charlie. The doctors have almost given in to the idea that he has asthma. We knew from day 1 that he would most likely have it. Dan had it growing up as a kid and I get bronchial asthma as an adult. He had 2 strikes against him right there. For his first bday Charlie has bronchitis and was on a nebulizer. After going to the doctor yesterday we went back to Wright & Fillipis and bought our very own nebulizers. Thankfully we have been able to control his attacks right now with drugs and haven't had to use it but it's nice to have. Nothing is scarier than seeing the look on your childs face when he can't catch his breath and having an attack. Poor little monkey. But... it's good that the doctors are being proactive and realize this is serious. A friends baby has croup right now and they didn't do anything for her. I'm happy to give my child medicine. It helps and will hopefully knock that cough out of his system faster than without.
So we are just having a snuggle day at home today! I showered and put my pj's right back on :-) Charlie is still in his and walking around with a play phone up to his ear and chit chatting to whoever he "called." (Probably daddy because he's at work)
Here is a new picture of Charlie from 2 nights ago. He is my little monster :-)
And here is a sneak peak of Charlie in his Halloween Costume!!! A smiley vampire!
