Lost & Found Voice

Posted by Mauree Brooksher at 1:16 PM



Poor baby Christopher had his first trip to the ER at Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital. Last Friday is when he came down with a sniffly nose, Saturday night his voice became hoarse & raspy, and by Sunday morning he was breathing quickly & with force. Therefore, we decided to call the Dr after his 2nd long nap of the morning (this is not normal either). Well the nurse listened to him breathe over the phone & said sorry but that is your ticket to the ER. After six hours of waiting in the ER we finally saw the nurse, resident, and doctor. Turns out he had the early stages of croup. Christopher received a steroid shot & thankfully it turns out it really strengthened him to fight it off. It never got much worse. It took its course & ended up as a small cold which is now gone! It was worth the 6 hour wait at the ER. I'm glad he's all better for his first Christmas. It's funny that he started off the week with no voice & is ending it with a new found voice! He talks & sings to himself often during the day!

Much Love & Many Blessings,
Mauree
