Violet isn't feeling so good
Since they got home, I almost expected that she would be sick having traveled across so many states. Calvin and I were very happy to see the other half of our family. Calvin was SO happy to see Violet, he was shrieking and jumping up and down when he saw the truck pull in the driveway.
She has croup. It is the worst at night, she struggles to breathe well. The cough started Thursday morning when she woke up and it sounded horrible. She had to skip school and miss her Harvest party. She seemed fine during the day on Thursday but then at night, she woke up around midnight coughing. It definitely sounded like a croup cough, it was a loud bark. She's also kept up a low grade fever around 100-101 for a couple days.

ReplyDeleteI was looking for a cough suppressant with codiene in it. That may be old fashioned, but it was good enough for me when I was a kid. Codiene is a narcotic, and a cough suppressant. This is from Wikapedia:
ReplyDeleteCodeine is one of the strongest cough suppressants known, along with a number of derivatives such as the dihydrocodeine-hydrocodone subgroup of opioids, and the semi-synthetics and synthetics mentioned below. Codeine is the standard by which all antitussives are measured. It suppresses coughing by direct action on the cough centre in the brain, and also decreases the rate and/or tidal volume of respiration. The below-mentioned semi-synthetics differ from codeine in such ways as lipid solubility and CNS penetration, overall side-effect profile, and duration of action.
Sounds pretty mean, but still it does suppress the cough! http://www.codeinecoughsyrup.com/

You are under the 200's for days left of your pregnancy. I wish I was. Feeling kind of sick today.
