The Friday before Easter Kimbri came down with the croup. She had only been asleep about an hour and a half when I went in to check on her and she was really struggling to breath. So much that I called Rick right in and we called the doctors office right away. They said with her struggling to breath that much that we should take her to Cardon's Childrens Hospital. It was just really scary to me since she had been acting totally fine and happy and healthy right before she went to bed and then all of the sudden she was having a hard time breathing.
By the time we got to the hospital Kimbri had started breathing a ton better, thank goodness. When they checked her out they said that sometimes croup hits kids really hard when it's more of an environment-induced croup (for example if it's extra windy, like it was that day, and there is a lot of stuff in the air, etc...). So they gave her a steroid to help combat it faster and we were on our way. It was after midnight by the time we left the hospital. Luckily they had a kids show on in the room and that kept Kimbri entertained while we waited for the Dr.
She was starting to look REALLY tired when the Dr finally came in! We are glad she's all better now!
