Hello all! Most of you probably already know, but for those of you who don't, Mason had a bout of croup this past week. He started with an occasional light cough on Saturday. On Tuesday night his cough was getting worse and he was starting to wheeze. I took him to the Doctor first thing Wednesday morning and he was diagnosed with croup. He was put on breathing treatments 4 times a day and on steroids for 5 days. We went back for a follow up on Friday and he got a clean bill of health...thank God! Throughout all of this, Mason was still his usual happy self. He was never really fussy at all; he's such a great baby! He is doing fine now. He will still occasionally wheeze and I can give him breathing treatments as needed.
Here he is getting a breathing treatment. He thought is was funny when the smoke/steam hit his face and he would laugh sometimes.
It was such a nice day today that Madison got to eat lunch outside.

Here is Madison reading a story to Mason. She is so good with him and she loves to entertain him.


Here are some pine cone turkeys that Madison and I made today.
