I'm honestly a little irritated with him and his girlfriend. My granddaughter has croup. She just turned one. They decided not to take her into the walk in clinic yesterday because they were too tired. I had her for most of the day and we spent a lot of time in the bathroom with the shower running as the steam is helpful. Her cough subsided while she was here. These things almost always get worse at night but neither of them wanted to sit in the bathroom with her (this is at their place) and they were tired so they brought her into the ER because they were hoping she would be given something to help her sleep. As I predicted, the doctor didn't do that, instead he gave her a steroid shot. Which doesn't do anything for sleep. The codeine they were hoping for to knock her out didn't happen and I'm grateful for that but irritated with them. She didn't have a fever and she was playing and eating fine, she didn't need to go in, she needed her parents to be patient and realize sleep is sporadic with children, especially sick children. I had offered to take her and have them all stay here as they have a lot of animals and I thought that the animal hair was likely aggravating her airways. Either way, they knew better and didn't.

Sorry for the rambling vent. Anyway.

Now they are sleeping and not answering the phone. So I'm waiting for them to call and I'm anxious. I'm worried that my son has decided that he doesn't need the help and will start the cycle over again.

I guess it's a possibility that I'll have to accept if it happens.
