up at night

So, my son is barking like a seal right now. Yes, at 1:30 in the am.

He has had this condition for about a week now. At first, we thought it was allergies, but it is a cold. We happened to see the doctor on Friday and he said that it appears to be a cold and that we have to let it run it's course. Poor guy!

I'm a bit the same way. After crashing all day on Sunday and sleeping away part of my afternoon, I started feeling better. But, I keep waking up from the dead of sleep and have been having the hardest time falling back asleep. That's when I discovered my son hacking away tonight.

If only the other seals would come and join him...he would have more fun.

Sounds like it may be croup...try sitting in a steamy bathroom for about 10 minutes with him, use a cool mist humidifier in his room with the window cracked (just dress him warmly) or take a quick excursion in the cold night air. It really helps with the breathing. We just went through this with all three of our kids!
Hope you all feel better!
Love, Christina

Thanks for the advise. Unfortunately, we have had to experience the unpleasantness of croup.....it's not that. We are leaning to strep that seems to be making the rounds around the area. Hopefully the doctor can let us know tomorrow at the appt. Right now, it's get through another night. Poor Seal sounding guy! =(
