Look who is 3!

Maks is 3! Cannot believe two years ago today we met him for the first time! He wasn't feeling too great on his first birthday and wound up in the hospital before we left. Well he decided to relive those times as we wound up in the ER very early this morning with a bad case of croup!


Yesterday morning he had his well visit and was doing fine. Checked in at 38.5 inches and 32 pounds, had a real big growth spurt and is now in the 75% for height!
He got his flu shot as well. Later in the day with joined C and the girls and Megs at a Fall Fest. He started coughing towards the end of that and by dinner had classic seal bark cough. By the time I got home he had a fever. he sounded wheezy so I gave him some albuterol, first time he has needed that in a LONG time. We went to sleep and at 4 am he was very restless and I could tell he was getting warm again. I turned the lights on and he was breathing hard and fast and his lips were blue tinged as well as his fingertips. That was enough for me, so off we went. He had a 103.9 fever when we got to the ER! Thankfully his lungs were pretty clear and it was just bad case of croup. He did good after some treatment and a shot of decadron.
Poor little man, not the way you want to spend your birthday.
He perked up as the day went on, but he was clingy and tires easily. Hoping we have a decent night though!
His party is next Saturday, so we celebrated with his dinner request: ham, broccholi and mac and cheese (homemade by daddy). I threw in some shrimp cocktail, his other favorite. One of the nurses sang Happy Birthday to him, and he said he wanted to chocolate cake. So I had to run to the bakery and get some chocolate cake for the king, well a cupcake would suffice!.

So Happy birthday Maks!! We love you to pieces and we love that we get to celebrate your birthday and your Metcha day all together!

On another note: GO PHILLIES!!!!!
