DS aged 7 STILL getting croup

He's a bit better today but was really poorly all weekend. Back on steroids Sad

People have always told me he'd grow out of it but I've lost count now of how many attacks he's had and how many nights we've spent at hospital. He's 8 this year FFS ...

I hate croup

I know how you feel, my DSs get croup regularly. DS1 is still gettting it at nearly 5, and DS2 got his first attack at 3 months and seems to get it every few months. None of my friends' children have had it, my sons just seem prone to it.

Hope your son feels better soon.

Thanks cake. It's so scary isn't it. I had truly hoped he would grow out of it.

I hope your 2 stay well and grow out of it before my gorgeous DS1 (my DS2 has never had it by the way and he's 5...)
