That being said they should have caught the crupe, because again from my experience, they tend to over diagnose that in the ER (especially if they are busy). We were told our son had that once by a doc at the pediatric ER and his normal doc (who we saw just 2 days later b/c the antibiotic the ER gave did not do the job) said he did not have the crupe because his lungs were perfectly clear! Anywho, we took our son into the pediatrician whenever he had a cough or anything everytime until he was over a year old. It is way too hard to tell what really warrants a doc visit (at least for me) until about the 18 month mark! Now my son is 3 and a half and unless the fever lasts over 24 hours or is above 102 we don't go in to the doctor. My philospohy is that you can never regret the doc telling you it's just a cold or allergies, but you could end up regretting not going in to get them looked at. Better safe than sorry! <br /><br />*been reading your blog since Hank was born (saw part of your sotry on Joy's blog) and love his little Aggie gear!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149140492145673895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4957598929945752875.post-50622001641749590032010-03-09T07:23:38.666-08:002010-03-09T07:23:38.666-08:00Love thoses shoes.
