Hello, Croup Old Friend

After the most unnecessary snow day ever yesterday -- seeing as how no precipitation materialized at all until 4pm and it was mostly just rain -- Ben and Becca headed back to school today. But Caroline, who started sounding hoarse on Sunday and started suspiciously seal-like coughing yesterday was up half the night coughing and sitting in a steamy bathroom by 6am and at the doctor by 9am. She got a dose of foul tasting steroids and was so serene and happy through the entire visit that the nurses were looking at each other in disbelief and commenting that they wished all their patients were just like her.  Way to go Caroline! Now just hoping the 'roid rage won't be too bad and that we will all sleep better tonight!
