Late Night Fun

Tyler started getting sick yesterday. He had a REALLY runny nose all day and threw up a couple of times just because of all the mucus. He woke up around midnight and sounded really strange. Tom went up and we realized that he had croup but he wasn't breathing normally either. We tried giving him a nebulizer treatment but he wasn't breathing in enough to get the benefit and he was becoming unresponsive. We ended up calling 911 and thankfully the operator told us to put him on his back and that ticked him off enough that he started to cry. The crying got him breathing a little better so that was a huge relief. He ended riding to the ER in an ambulance. They did a chest x-ray just to be sure and that was clear. He got a breathing treatment there and an oral steroid which really seemed to help. He is doing better this morning and we are very relieved!

Now, both of the boys have had their chance to experience an emergency ambulance ride so hopefully that means we are done with that now!
