I have croup. Last night I was wheezing, and when I coughed I sounded like a seal. Mommy was pretty worried. I think she wanted to take me to the hospital, but Dad said we didn't need to go. We went in the bathroom and turned the shower on as hot as it would go and made our own steam room, and after a few minutes I started feeling a little better. (Not much better, but a little bit.)

When I went to bed I was still wheezing but I slept pretty well, and this morning I did feel a little better. Mommy took me down to see Dr. D. this afternoon, and he agreed with Dr. Mom -- I have croup. He said it just has to run its course. (He also said I weigh 18 pounds, 14 ounces now!)

This evening I went to see Grandpa Driever and he gave me a chiropractic adjustment. It seems like it helped, and I feel a little better tonight. I still have a little wheeze when I breathe, and I definitely sound like a seal barking when I cough. I feel O.K., but I'm really tired so that's all I'm going to write for now.

Good night.
