Waking up at 3 am to hear your child coughing and struggling to breath. Only to rush him to the emergency room and spend 2 1/2 hours as doctors give him steroids and prepare for epinephrin breathing treatment...
Oh child, why that night of all nights?
Well, needless to say, today has been exhausting, and with the little sleep we did get, we have made it through the day.
Elijah is better now, he has the Croup, which is nothing crazy, and very common in young children, though his attack at 3 am was quite a struggle for him. We have learned that cool air is a good treatment for the croup, and in a couple days this should pass. His breathing has improved greatly, the cough lingers, but it is showing signs of fading as well...
Often times the croup is described as a barking cough like a seal...
Good Night.

That settles it. After seeing this picture of Elijah I definetly think you should go with the baby modeling.
Well played Lucas - Well played.
Nick - sorry to hear Elijah has had health struggles as of late. I imagine it is tough on everyone.
Glad he is doing better.
