Croup: A Limerick

When Elliott awoke late last night,
his gasping and barking caused a fright.
We considered the nurse's suggestion
but chose to avoid the ER's congestion.
So now the After Hours will fix him up right.

(I hope.)

Oh no! I hope he's okay. Heinz was working last night. You should have gone to see him.

Okay -- I just want to clarify that "Haha! :-) comment. I was not laughing at Elliott's illness!! Yikes! Poor little guy.

Heinz wants to know what they did for him.

Oral steroid (decadron?). He was OK yesterday but today he seemed really sick and had a high fever. We took him to his regular doc and she thinks he may have RSV or bronchiolitis. He just can't catch a break this week!

Oh, yeah, and they did a chest x-ray as well. I think they just wanted to be super-careful given his history of respiratory issues.
