I guess it was bound to happen

 Mack Sick for the First Time

I tried to stop it but I guess it was just a matter of time before Mack got sick.  Adam came home last week from work with a cold and sure enough the following week I felt a little under the weather.  I took my vitamins and thought that we had made it through the sickness without passing it to Mack when all the sudden he started not sleeping well.  The first night I woke up in a panic as he was gasping for air.  Adam stayed up with him and rocked in back and forth as he slept.  The next day I went and got a hot air humidifier and baby Vicks to help him breath.  We were set up for success we were going to have a goodnight and sleep.  Nope once again at 2:00 a.m. Mack started to cough and gasp for air. That night both Adam and I got up with him.  The following day was Sunday and we decided to stay home and rest since none of us had slept more that 3 hours a time.  During the day Mack is all happy and chipper which makes me think he's better.  Then once again last night around 2:00 a.m. he started to cough and gasp for air.  I stayed up with him and held him in my arms and he struggled to breath and sleep.  I felt so bad and so helpless not knowing what to do.  We watched "Marley and Me" and I cried my eyes out as Mack ate a little and slept a little.  In the morning we had a steam shower and called Dr. Jackson.  We were seen at 10:20 a.m. and by 10:40 a.m. I was informed that Mack was sick with Croup and that he needed a shot of medicine to help get over the sickness.  Poor little guy was gooing and smiling at the nurse when all the sudden he let out a blood curling cry and the shot when into the side of his upper thigh.  I could not look, listening was hard enough as he sobbed and sobbed.  I hurried and got him dressed and cuddling him in my arms till the tears stopped.  Lets hope that tonight he will be able to breath and sleep just fine.  Oh I hate seeing my baby sick.
