sickie boy

It's so sad, Liam has the croup.  It's AWFUL!  He's had it for almost a week now and it's not really getting any better.  Wednesday was supposed to be the peak but I don't see an improvement.  The worst part is he can't breathe during his coughing attacks, sometimes his lips even turn blue!!!  I looked it up on the web and there really isn't any cure, just relief.  We have the humidifier running all night.  Even just now I had to run to his bed to lift him to help him breathe easier.  It's frightening and heartbreaking to see him cough and struggle to breathe.  We go for his four month checkup Monday morning and that appointment can't come soon enough!  Thank goodness he's fine otherwise.  When he's not coughing he's in a happy mood.  Here's a picture from last week.  I think he looks kinda like one of those Anne Geddes babies.
