Croup

Yohan hasn't been well the last three days... the doctor says he has croup. Apparently the virus that causes the cold in adults sometimes has this effect on infants. He has a cold and a cough and a sporadic fever, and his nose is all stuffed up. He's almost completely lost his voice as well with this, and what's remaining is really hoarse. He can hardly make a sound when he cries or is happy. Susan said it's like his volume knob has been turned all the way down to 1. Sad to see the little guy like this - the doctor says he can't give any medicines since this is a virus, and it will take 3 -4 days to run it's course. We're praying this will work it's way out of his system real soon!

He had his 4-month appointment today, but the doctor postponed his shots until he gets better. Vital stats at the 4-month mark:
Weight - 12 lbs 13oz
Height - 24 1/4"
