Gabriel was diagnosed with croup. It is a virus which causes coughing that sounds like a barking seal. The diagnosis helps me better understand why he was up at 1am last night. Thankfully he is sleeping after a steroid shot.
Hooray! It is not the swine flu, however, the culrpit of the croup could be RSV. As many of you know, RSV was the reason Gabriel was hospitialized with pneumonia last February. For some reason he does not build a resistance to that virus.
I hope the little guy is back on his feet soon!
