RSV

Ledger was a sad, sad little guy in the ER.

 

 

 

Snoozing the afternoon away. 

 He pretty much slept through the night both nights in the hospital.

 

Felling much better!

 

Ledger came down with a little sniffle last Monday or Tuesday.  Wednesday night he SCREAMED from 12:30am to about 6:00am. Obviously something was not right so I took him in to the ped at 7:00 as soon as they opened.  They drew blood, cathed him and ran a bunch of tests (All while he screamed).  The best they could come up with was he had reflux.  So he started meds that afternoon but he continued not acting like himself.  Friday morning he seemed better when he out of no where started acting strange.  I immediately called the ped's office to get him in asap.  The kids had just gotten off the bus.  While I was telling the receptionist his symptoms he turned gray and went completely limp in my arms.  It took several shakes and me screaming his name for him to even grimace and get some tone to his little body.  I called 911 and got Alanna to call Sean on my cell.  He was breathing again (crying even) when the paramedics got to our house.  Our friend, Lisa from church a few houses down from us came just as we were getting in the ambulance.  We made it to the ER with only two episodes of weird breathing (not actually stopping luckily).  We did a bunch more blood tests and a chest x-ray then they admitted him.  The next day the results came back for RSV.  He's the first of our brood to get it.  Again all of our awesome friends were so helpful!  Thank you, thank you!
