  • sick infant != good sleep

    posted @ Tuesday, January 23, 2007 7:08 AM | 3 Comments | 

    i have a 6-month old that has been sick the past few days.  ordinarily he's a great kid and just hangs out, never cries, keeps on a schedule, sleeps through the night, etc.  but we found his weakness: being sick.

    our little guy has had a cough that my wife describes as sounding like he's 'barking like a seal' and he is not a happy child.  the past two nights he has slept probably a total of 45 minutes.  bless my wife for staying up with him while i sleep.

    this morning i had an early morning trip so i relieved her about 4am to try to get him to sleep -- finally got him down at 4:30am and he was asleep still when i left at 5:45...hopefully she'll get some sleep.

    man, sick sucks.

    Hi ... I am in Phoenix, too :) Just a note to let you know that whooping cough is going thru Arizona. I have a niece that had it and makes that 'seal' like noise. If you didn't get him vaccinated that might be what he's got ... Just thot I'd drop a line.
    Take care,
    MIKE

    Yikes! Barking like a seal sounds like croup. My son had that when he was ~1 and I had to stay up with him. He would have trouble breathing and I'd have to take him outside and then into the steaming shower. The next day the doctor gave him a shot and it was gone by that night.

    It is no fun having a sick infant! Hope he gets well soon!
