Please pray for my son. He was very sick this morning and was in the ER for 7 hours. He woke from his sleep barely able to breathe and couldn't cry. He is home and sleeping now, but please pray that he gets better. He is only 1 year old and such a sweet child that everyone who meets him wants to either hold him or play with him. I appreciate your prayers in advance. He was diagnosed with croup.

I know how you feel honey, I have my own share of worries when my kids are growing and are still am.
As a mom, we have to hang in there for them...please, please show to them that you are brave and nothing will befall upon them when you are around.
Show to them that you are capable of going thru anything, be an example to them.
They will respect you when they grow up.
Here something for you about croup treatment. I will pray for him honey, I will.
Treatment
Most, though not all, cases of viral croup are mild. Breathing in moist air seems to relieve many of the symptoms. Doctors will also sometimes treat with steroids, which helps with the airway swelling.
One way to humidify the air is with a cool-mist humidifier. Having your child breathe in the moist air through the mouth will sometimes break a croup attack. Or try running a hot shower to create a steam-filled bathroom where you can sit with your child for 10 minutes. Try cuddling and reading a bedtime story while doing this to help calm your child.
Sometimes, during cooler months, taking your child outside for a few minutes can help break the attack because the cool air can shrink the swollen tissues lining the airway. Parents can also try driving the child in the car with the windows down to bring in cool air.
If your child has croup, consider sleeping overnight in the same room to provide close observation. If you are not able to break your child's fast breathing and croupy cough, call your child's doctor or seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Medical professionals will need to evaluate your child if the croup appears serious or if there's any suspicion of airway blockage or bacterial infection. Medications such as epinephrine or corticosteroids may be given to reduce swelling in the upper airways. Oxygen may also be given, and sometimes a child with croup will remain in the hospital overnight for observation. As with most illnesses, rest and plenty of fluids are recommended.
May God be there for him.
p/s: I have been thru that....and in fact today my son and daughter are ill.
Son got asthma and daughter got high fever.

Will pray. But do not be alarmed. Croup is very common (happened to my boy), and a little steam or mist from a nebulizer will go a long way.
Consider buying a second hand nebulizer of your own for anything that might happen in the future. They come in real handy, even when they are older.

Because despite the fact that you're an atheist and don't comply with any exact faith, you do no less than comply with your possess morals, correct? Isn't a type of human rights? Freedom of notion is a human correct. We are every unfastened to prefer what we feel, and as such we will have to admire different men and women's ideals. I am a Muslim and if I met you I might maintain no prejudice in opposition to you simply due to the fact that you're an atheist; I might deal with you with the equal stage of admire that I might provide to a fellow Muslim. Hence, I handiest ask you do the equal in go back. It begins with one individual, and if we will all study admire every different, may not the arena slowly start to grow to be a bigger position? :]

Poor guy.
Fortunately- croup is rarely fatal. If they released him it seems like he'll be fine.
So sorry you had to go through this, but perhaps scares like this allow us to appreciate what we have even more.
