First trip to the ER

Poor baby girl. I knew she wasn't feeling great yesterday because she snuggled with me on the couch all morning. Caroline usually doesn't sit still long enough to snuggle. She has her molars and a few other teeth coming in, so I assumed that was the problem. She perked up a little throughout the day but when she woke up from her afternoon nap, she was blazing hot. I took her temp...104.1. She has never had a fever that high so I freaked out a little. Luckily we didn't have to drive her all the way to the hospital on base (45 min) and Scott knew that UC Davis had a pediatric ER. He did a rotation there years ago...these things come in handy. :)
Diagnosis--croup...again. Her breathing is labored when she gets upset, which is scary. The last time she had it she recovered in a few days so hopefully this time it goes away as quickly. They gave her a steroid shot and by the time we put her to bed she seemed a little better. She is still sleeping now (at 7:35am). She hasn't slept past 6:30 in a long time!
