Gave Kaya breathing treatments but knew that the cough was hanging on too long, too tight. Yep, time for our yearly round of croup. Interestingly enough adults actually can get croup we just don't realize it. We get a cold, then the cough hangs on and it's tight and we have a form of croup. Which I had been coughing the week prior so that is probably what started Kaya with the cold.
Finally nailed an appt from her Dr (not liking this office combined situation...love our dr, love her nursing staff, love the office staff..hate the appt schedule etc) at the after hours clinic and got the diagnosis:
"Yes Miss Kaya, you have your yearly croup."
So off to the store to pick up her steroid (yeah..makes her cry one minute, very cranky the next) that she has to take for 3 days. Already have her machine and meds for it.
She is feeling better and able to play but it took what feels forever for her cough to lighten up. Nothing is worse than that deep cough in the middle of the night. I think we all crashed last night from simply no sleep!!
