We got a seal in the house!

I am telling you all-if it is not one thing, it's another. So, last night, we almost had to take Dawson to the ER. He hasn't been feeling so good lately. But last night when he fell asleep, he sounded really raspy. At one point he woke up and started crying and was literally gasping for air. He was really having a hard time catching his breath. Then he threw-up. Anyway, we called the doctor on-call and she said it sounded like croup. Croup is a virus that affects the vocal chords and causes swelling in the airway. Yippee...just what we need. Well, she suggested calling sitting in a steam-filled bathroom and called in a steroid. Both of those things helped him get through the night. But, I am still taking him to the doctor today. I am not taking any risks. We have insurance and if they just tell me he is ok...then great. Just pray for a quick recovery. Blah. Slightly stressful.

And on another note. For the past couple days Dawson has been saying that he wanted to make something for Samuel (so sweet). Well, yesterday, we made an octopus made out of a glove and decorated it quite exotically. I will put up a picture soon. When Dawson is feeling better, we will take it to Samuel's grave.
