We have got the Croup :(

I still can not believe we just got a whole foot of snow. This needs to end already! My poor dog can barely walk, nor breathe when the snow is that high!

Poor Bradley came down with the Croup over the weekend. He has already taken all the medication he was prescribed but sadly hes still feeling crummy. He is barely eating, but we are forcing in enough Milk to keep him hydrated and getting some nutrients at least. We think his fever is gone as well. He was constantly every couple hours spiking a fever to 102+ from Sat-Mon. I have yet to see how today goes!

I am not sure if he was feeling slightly better last night at dinner time or not but he actually ate some of a meal with us for the first time since Friday. He is also making it pretty clear that I need to go out and buy him a childrens utensil set. He is clearly ready! He uses a spoon for messy things alot, but last night we cooked ham and as soon as it was chopped up and put on his high chair he freaked out pointing at Brandon's plate and fork. Not having any forks his size that will actually peirce through the ham was a problem, but we found a clear plastic throw-away fork and he was as happy as a clam. No wonder hes been freaking out at dinner time lately, he wants to eat like us!

I got a short video of him eating with the fork, I didn't want to distract him too much.

Heres a few of Baby Bradley trying to combat his fever.








These are from last week.







I had to put this one up, he got a hold of this gatorade bottle and was addicted!



And this would be Brandon and I being stupid at the dogs expense. This cape was from a Valentines Day stuffed animal.







I'll toss this on here as well incase anyones actually interested. Its basically just of Bradley playing.

I hope Bradley is feeling better soon! I just posted a video of Elisabeth using a fork a couple weeks ago. It's so cool! Pretty soon, I'll be doing dishes while she eats instead of being a slave to the spoon LOL!

Oh no! I hope he feels better soon!

Good job eating with the fork! We're still trying to master that one:)
