Anyone else had to deal with croup?  DS has croup and now has raspy breathing and doc says we should go have it checked out at Childrens...

Hannah has had it twice in her 2 1/2 years!  Yeah, you need to go take him in.  It'll get worse at night.  His throat will get swollen that will make it hard to breathe (hence the bark-like cough).  One thing that will help him get through a coughing fit is to take him into the bathroom and run a very hot shower.  The steam will help calm his throat and let him breathe more easily.  Do you have a humidfier?  You'll want to get one of those as well, and put it by the crib.  I hope he gets better quick!
