My 20 month old granddaughter is in the hospital tonight...
It's just a precaution; she has croup, and the doctor wanted to keep her under observation till tomorrow, at least...

I know she's going to be fine...

Her parents are staying with her, too...

Please, if you would, some vibes for her...

1. Wow! She looks just like you! except maybe not quite as wise and mature and all.
I hope she's OK.

She has excellent taste in hats, BTW

3. Thank you, my dear struggle4progress...
I suspect she will be OK...

And you know the hat was her mom's idea!

5. Thank you, my dear MiddleFingerMom...
I appreciate your very good thoughts!

I'm glad her parents are going to be there. There's nothing quite as scary as waking up in a strange place, and not seeing your parents...

:hug:

16. My dear California Peggy,
Just tell her,

"Don't worry pretty baby. Everything will turn out all right".

It was like when Blue Cloud needed surgery (inguinal hernia) I couldn't believe how brave he was. And though the doc insisted he could not walk, he did like a cowboy for a few hours.

Kids are tough,

Good vibrations are sent!

28. ***My happy update***
I called my daughter this morning, after hearing nothing all night, and THEY ARE GOING HOME!

The baby is fine, airways wide open!

My daughter said it was the worst night of her life, with struggles to get the IV in, and her daughter crying...

But all is well now, at last.

She'll be on steroids for a few days, and then that's it.

Thank you, all of you, for your love and vibes!

They mean the world to me and my family...


:loveya: :grouphug: :loveya:

43. A woman I work with had to take time to care for her toddler with croup
I guess it's going around. It takes a week or two to show symptoms which is why it goes around.

Sending vibes to your granddaughter!

Oh so pretty in pink!

58. What a cutie!


She looks like she fell off her Nana's face!

Hopefully a little mist and meds and she'll be good as new.

Croup usually sounds a lot worse than it is, but still - poor baby having to deal with all that.

Sending healing vibes to the CalPeglet, and a :hug: for all the worried grownups

59. I'm happy to hear she is all right.
I have 6 granddaughters, 3 grandsons and 2 great-granddaughters. We are fortunate that we live in a time of sophisticated medical care and especially fortunate if we have access to it. For most of human history half of children died before age 3. Happily, few of us here have to experience that sort of heartbreak.
