So this past week has been really hard. Rick came down with a really bad cold on Tuesday night. So I decided to take the kids and spend the next few days at mom's house so me and the boys wouldn't be at risk for getting sick. Then at 5am on Thursday morning I woke up to Jonathan coughing and gasping for air. He was choking and could hardly breathe, so I took him into mom's room and called the doctor. They said it sounded like he had serious respiratory distress, so to get him to the ER, and if it got worse in the next few minutes that I should call an ambulance....way to calm me down right?
So I ended up in the ER at 530am with Rick and Me in the Triage Area and Mom and Michael in the waiting room. I felt SOOOOO bad for Jonathan. The poor little guy was short of tourtered!! The x-ray machine for infants is this Hannibal Lector like contraption that has a saddle like seat to sit them on with leg holes for their feet to hang through. Then this plastic incasing surrounds them holding their arms above their head and finally a leather strap to help support their head!! Then he got blood drawn which it took me, Rick and two nurses to hold him down. (Fight or flight instinct is amazing!) The RSV swab which they swab the inside of his nose which pissed him off too. So in the end....Jonathan has pneumonia and Michael has the cold that Jonathan had prior to it going into pneumonia!!! Poor guys!!! At least I got some new pics of them....
