I don’t think we will do real TOT but maybe. There’s a block in our neighborhood that goes all out, the street is blocked off, and it’s a big thing. Last year N and I went and walked around so maybe this year we will actually TOT. Idk if I mentioned but he will either be Elmo or a fire truck. So he has croup. 99% sure. Started last night with a fever and just ugh. Bad night and morning bc he refuses to take medicine! I legit just got him to take some bc he finally agreed to eat. Also watching ALLLLL the videos he wants today. He slept until 7 and then we came out to the living room and he fell asleep on me until 10! I’ve napped on and off so much this morning already. Poor guy. Poor guy. This is what the pedi thought about M on friday. She seems to be coughing more but its broken up, not barking which she said would happen. She had the fever for less than 48 hours. I hope N feels better soon. Thanks! It’s so sad to see him so miserable. Whenever he coughs he cries and clings to me. Poor buddy. I wish I didn’t have to work tomorrow but I know he will be fine with our nanny so no point in calling in sick. I hope he recovers quickly like M did. 🤞🏼 |

Now she has been coughing nonstop all day but it seems like it’s more from post nasal. I hope he is feeling better tomorrow and I’m sorry you have to work 😢 |

He still has a fever my nanny just told me so we will just hope today is the end of the fever. 48h will be tonight so 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I’m so tired of sleeping in his futon but we are trying so hard to not get him comfy in our bed again. How are your girls doing |

How are your girls doing I hope the fever breaks by tonite. M coughed and coughed yesterday but not as much so far today. She is fighting napping so that sucks right now. D1 has a coughing fit at like 11:00 last night but coughing less today so who the hell knows. Is it spring yet? 😂 |

addymac that sucks. My brother got croup a lot as a toddler and i remember thinking he was dying because it always sounded so bad. J had it once last winter and it sucked. So J bit me in the face on Sunday. Its the first time hes bit in months and it hurt like hell. I yelled, went to anothet room, and wouldnt talk to him for a minute. He started bawling and climbing all over me then i started bawling. It was terrible.

Ugh. Idk wtf N has. I thought it was croup but he still has a fever and is full on sick. I didn’t think croup came with all that sickness. I’m taking him to the doctor today because it’s day four of fever. And now I’m sick. And so bloody tired.

addymac Sorry N is so sick. I’m dealing with the same with DS (and now it’s starting in DD and me). He’s had a fever,coughing, sore throat, stomach ache since Sunday- Dr said yesterday it’s probably flu. 😭I hope N is on the mend soon.

I'm so sorry ladies! addymac and pennylane. I feel with croup, it is a very distinct barking cough addymac. I would be inclined to not think croup either after day 4 of a fever. Let us know what the dr says, poor guy. I'm sorry you are sick now too. |

yellowcat, we’re going TOTing for the first time this year. A will be a monkey (curious George), I’m going to be a banana and MH will be the man in yellow from curious George. We’re going with friends and their 3 year old. I’m excited! ETA: we’re definitely bringing a wagon and I don’t expect to make it too far. I was thinking about TOT as an easy first try. |

addymac, what are his symptoms again? When A had roseola, he had a fever for nearly 3 days and was so inconsolable. I don’t think he had a cough, but was so lethargic and uncomfortable. Same for J and my youngest a few weeks ago. |

What did the dr say? addymacI hope you are both feeling better today! I am but he’s eh. I don’t think he had a fever last night so at least! But he is still super congested and coughing and waking up crying hysterically. She said she thinks it’s just post nasal drip and the start of a possible ear infection so she gave us an allergy med to dry him out and antibiotics if we wanted to start it. This is just so much worse than any cold he’s ever had I’m shocked that’s all it is. Medicine didn’t seem to help much last night and DH doesn’t want to give the abx yet so I guess we will wait and see. I’m so freakin tired. |

Did they test for strep? I know strep wouldn’t have those symptoms but just thinking of why he might be feeling so crummy. |

They said it looks red and isn’t really there yet but then DH asked for the script in case he gets worse over the weekend and then we can start the abx instead of having to rush to find an urgent care type thing. I just wish he’d take medicine more consistently bc fuuuuuck half the battle is staying on top of pain meds to combat the headache and throat ache. He’s so stubborn and clingy. I feel like an asshole going to work bc he just wants to cling to me but also I need. To. Get. Away. I told DH I work 12h today and Normally I come home around 8, bedtime is 820/830 and I am not coming home until DH has put him to bed bc he refuses to go to bed without me and he will go down by himself with just DH. So nope. As much as I want to snuggle him before bed I NEED a few hours to myself before bed. I’m sure I’ll end up w him motn anyway so we can get our cuddles in then. |

I wonder if it’s just the ear infection just brewing and making him feel so crappy. D1 has never had one even to this day but M has had a couple and been miserable. I hope you all can get some rest tonite. |

I just need sleeeeeep. |

addymac, I hope N feels better and you get some sleep. I totally get you on needing time at night. Ds1 is a horrible sleeper as I've mentioned, so putting him to bed sucks up all evening and I get frustrated and then dh gets angry and resentful that he and I get no time together. The few times he's fallen asleep before 9:30 it's been such a game changer. Hope it gets better for you. I almost commented on the wrong random thread and then saw this one.
