Crud, he has Croup.

I stayed home with Cal on Monday because he was coming down from a 102 fever.  KK and the girls from daycare sent him a video message to let them know that they missed him.  He watched it on repeat for a good 10 minutes and even named the girls in the video (well, named them with HIS version of their names). 

 He was back to running around like a wild man by Tuesday so do daycare he went!  However, he caught my cold in the meantime (which is unimaginable, considering he only drinks from my straw and eats off of my fork throughout the day even though I desperately tried to remember to NOT let him do so) and began to feel under the weather again.  When he woke up this morning, he was wheezing some and boy he was hoarse.   His coughing fits mirrored my own, or worse.....a "barking seal".  This is what the doctor always tells me to listen for when Croup is a concern.  I took him in and low and behold, he has a mild case.  Thankfully it's only mild and he's in fairly good spirits.  He's moving around a little slower and is quick to cry when frustrated.  His Mama is enjoying the extra snuggles that he is seeking for comfort, but I am anxious for his breathing to return to a non-wheezing state and for him to feel better soon.   Keep him in your prayers, please!

Oh....this is a picture back from the OSU/KSU football game this fall.  Dayle's daughter, Finley, wasn't too shy to initiate a kiss and Cal wasn't too hesitant to plant one on her!  However, should his other KSU football girlfriend, Alex, find out then he may have some explaining to do!
