Fall Festivals and The Croup

With Halloween being right around the corner, I have been trying to find things to do with Logan that will be fun for both of us. We did a pumpkin patch with Jon and JR last week(pics to follow) where the dads(Jon and Jerry) carved pumpkins and the kids and I watched. Then last night was the Great Pumpkin Escape in downtown Starke so I dressed Logan up, he's a lion:) and went with Emily in tow to get our loot of candy and treats! But this week hasn't been all fun....Thursday, we found out Logan had a cold, which was to be expected with the weather changing- however, it turned out to not be a cold:( Thursday night, we went to bed as usual. Jerry stayed up and since Logan was congested, we put him in bed with me until he fell asleep and then put him in the crib. Well, he woke up an hour later and Jerry grabbed him and he was having some problems breathing---we suctioned out his nose and gave him a few minutes while I googled some ideas of what he has- that's when the seal like bark cough and wheezing type sound started happening and the shaking...so we took him to Shands Pediatric at UF again and they found out he had croup along with 102.7 temperature. He has been on steroids for the past three days and we did motrin this morning for a fever...he's doing a lot better and we haven't had any distress since that night. He's back to being his normal self with the exception of a slight cough and runny nose.
 Luckily, he decided to do this stuff when Jerry had the week off....I get too paranoid with Logan when Jerry is at work.

 Yesterday was mom's birthday- so we packed up and headed over there! I made a cake and a homemade streamer that had to be about 4 feet long----it was ice cream cones with the letters spelling HAPPY BIRTHDAY on them....a pinterest idea:)
