What I remember of croup: wife standing in the shower with the baby and on cool evenings, taking them outside. She said the change in humidity / temp helped clear the breathing passages.

It's one of the things I try first as a paramedic.

can ever breathe freezer air for a bit if it's not cold outside. All in moderation, of course.

If it is cold outside you can't breathe freezer air or if it is cold outside just breathe outside air?

either, both.

breathe cold air is point. If it's not cold outside or if you don't want to go outside at 2 am, open up the freezer for a few minutes.

That's why abortion should be not only legal, but mandatory.

Well, yesterday was a Sunday, so it'd be presumptious to assume she didn't have a job. But, if she's going to the ER to get a prego test performed...well, yeah. That's not good. The things cost what, like $15 OTC.
