Well, Ryan is skinnier and shorter than Michael was at nine months. Ryan weighs in at 23 lbs 4 oz and 27.25 inches long and Michael was 25 lbs and 4 oz and 29 inches long.
Ryan and I spent three hours last night at Children's Hospital. He was still sounding like darth vader, but otherwise was normal. Since he breathing still sounded off I took him back to the pediatrician yesterday. The pediatrician said that he had to go to the hospital for stronger medication to resolve the croup. So, I was quite panicked and trying to figure out what to do with Michael. A neighbor watched Michael for about 20 minutes and Ian came home. We get to the hospital and the nurses did a test (which could have be done at the pediatrician's office) and determine that he is getting enough oxygen and they question why I am there (especially since his disposition is so pleasant). The ER doctors come in and I get the same reaction from them (we saw three). They did do an x-ray of his neck and saw nothing. They also felt that since he seemed to be handling the illness so well that he wouldn't benefit from any more medication. So, it was an interesting evening.
