Carsyn's UnHappy Birthday

Poor Carsyn. I woke her up on her birthday and sang to her. She didn't move. I tried the usual morning routine of carrying her to the couch, giving her a strong dose of a chewable vitamin and chocolate milk with her poop medicine in it (a whole other story for those of you who don't know!) and her favorite morning show, Little Einsteins. But she didn't want any of that- she just wanted to lay on the floor of my bedroom. Turns out she was hoarse, had a cough that sounded like a seal and had a fever. She didn't even get excited when she found out she got a new University of Texas cheerleading outfit complete with poms! So she got to go to school with me, since Scott had already left for an early meeting with the boss. Carsyn spent first period in high school. She was so excited to see a 6ft. 4 in. tall freshman in my class. She said "Mommy!! He's so big!!!" So Scott finally got to pick her up and take her to the doctor. Turns out she has Croup. It's kinda of a virus in your throat- mostly your vocal cords. But of course, she won't stop talking. She looks awful and sounds awful, but thinks she's fine, so was very sad to stay home today. She had some ice cream last night for her birthday. We're just glad she had so much fun at her party on Saturday so yesterday wasn't too much of a let down!!! So no birthday pictures!!!
