"Croup has a certain sound"

You know, I called the after hours line this weekend to see if we should bring Jack in since he was breathing poorly and coughing. I told the nurse he had a 'croupy cough' to which she launched into this whole thing about how 'well, croup has a certain sound'. She asked if it was a barking sound. I said, "yes, that's why I said it's croupy."

I don't know why that aggravated me, but it did. I was actually more worried about Jack than aggravated, I suppose. Anyway, an update on the health of my kids today. Bo apparently did not want to be left out of this round of illness. He's got a fever 100.5 and slept until our sitter WOKE him at 10:30. He has NEVER slept that late. Looks like another call into another nurse (still waiting to hear from the ENT nurse)...
