Sleeping In
Kerri and I have not been logging much sleep the last few days because Ben has had Croup. This is not our first exposure to the beast — Ben had it on his birthday last February and in June of 2004. Abby has had it at least once before, back in 2003. This morning I got to stay in bed until 7:30am and Kerri rolled out at close to 8:00am. Of course, we were up several times during the night so it’s not like we grabbed 9 hours of contiguous sleep but it still is nice to have the kids play along and stay in bed a little longer.
I guess I’m starting to feel like a veteran parent these days. Sure, I still get a bit freaked out when the kids get something like croup but we were comfortable enough to give Ben the Prednisone we had on-hand, taking him to the doctor the next day for confirmation on our course of action. Oh yeah, we have Prednisone on-hand… doesn’t everybody?
