Cooper has had a cold for several days. Yesterday when I picked him up from daycare there was a sign confirming a case of H1N1. Then last night Cooper had a really bad night and was barking like a seal and wheezing by 5 am.

I called the doctor's office at 7am when they started taking calls and made an appointment. Since Christopher was post-call I went into work late and he took him to the doctor at 9:30.

The result... no flu, regular or of the swine variety. However, he has croup. Just like his Daddy decades ago. He got a steroid shot and an antibiotic. Tonight I have a feeling we will be sitting in a steamy bathroom since it's not chilly outside yet.
