Croup

It's tough being a mom and a pediatrician.  This morning my little one woke with a barky cough.  She has croup. Right now it's just the cough, but I have enough medical knowledge to know it has the ability to get worse before getting better, which scared the living day lights out of me. I swear, I've brought home more germs working in the office than when I was primarily in the hospital.
