It's been a rough few days here at the Burt household. Monday night Katie awoke from sleep, after being asleep for about an hour, having major breathing issues. I got her out of bed, took her outside and called her pediatrician. For about 20 minutes I tried, in vain, to get her to calm down and breath and after talking with the on-call nurse I put her in the car and took off for the hospital. Upon arriving she was assessed and once she calmed down just a bit, the tell-tale bark of croup became apparent. We sat in that ER for about 5 hours, Nat was away for work so Grammy and Pop kept us entertained, until she took some steroids and was deemed well enough to go home.
Tuesday, Nat came home from work very early to assist us, lack of sleep wasn't doing us any good and today we are doing even better. Katie now has the junky cough that always follows croup but her spirits are up and tonight, before dinner, all she wanted to do was go outside with Daddy and ride her bike. She's getting really good at being on her own with the bike, although going up hill still is frustrating. She still has a lot of fun though!
Getting started.
Making a grumpy face because I was trying to take her picture.
Laughing at me as I tripped in the street.
Crossing the street, with a little help.
Cute.
Taking a break.
Getting tired.
