Aaron has and is still getting over his first proper illness which is Croup. This a virus in the respiratory tract and has caused Aaron to struggle to breath. In fact one night this week he woke up in a panic and he was really bad and we were on the verge of calling for an ambulance as he was really struggling to breath. Luckily he calmed down but Kelly had to stay up with him all night, just in case.

The following day we took him to the doctors who diagnosed it as a moderate case of Croup and gave us a prescription for a steroid table to give to him. After he took that, he cleared up really well and didn’t struggle to breathe any more, which was a major relief! Croup can get so bad that it can stop babies from breathing!

He now still has a bit of a cold and a chesty cough but nowhere near as bad as it was.  Hopefully he will get over it in a few days!
