Oh Rachael, poor little Milo. I hope he's feeling loads better soon and that it is just a cold. Gussy had croup earlier this year. He started out with symptoms of a particularly nasty cold - runny nose/sneezing, sore throat, fever (40degree temps on panadol) and general grumpy boy stuff. They he started coughing, but it wasn't a normal sounding cough. It was more of a barking, harsh sound that seemed to really take the wind out of him. He got a really hoarse voice and even lost his voice for a couple of days. The thing I really remember as the stand out symptoms was the cough and particularly noisy breathing when he was inhaling. All his symptoms were best in the middle of the day but got much worse overnight and first thing in the morning. Gus's croup was part of parainfluenza 3 which is a particularly nasty flu so he had a week or so in hospital with it. He was a really sick little boy for the best part of January from it. It may have hit him extra hard because he's got weaker lungs and a less effective immune system than the average bunny due to his premmie issues.

Kerrie, BIG BIG BIG congratulations. I am sooooo happy for you. Sending you loads of sticky baby dust in shades of blue. he ha. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy. Yipppeeeeee for you, DH and the girls!
