Swine Flu In The Hoy House?!

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:00:23 EST

Mason had what we thought might be a case of the croup last week. He woke up a couple of mornings with a bad, croupy cough, after rattled breathing at night. Mason has never been immunized and his immune system is far superior to ours. He rarely ever gets sick, even when the rest of us are in bed, slingin' snot...or worse. When he does get sick, he might run a fever for a few hours or have a runny nose for a day or two but then it's all over. On Halloween night, Max said, "My brain feels funny." Honestly, I thought he'd just had too much candy. Later that night, he felt warm to me but I didn't give it much thought, either, because our heater has been running quite a bit now that it's cold out. Sunday morning, he woke up with a sore throat and a croupy cough. I naturally thought he caught Mason's croup and that he'd be just fine in a few hours, just like Mason. We packed for a trip to Kennebunkport with my mom (we had special plans there for her at an inn on the ocean), and hit the road. Good thing I always pack a thermometer in our overnight bag because Max was definitely running a fever by the time we arrived.
