Our Trip to the ER

I think it's sad they make hospital gowns this small!
Watching funny cat videos on Daddy's phone!

Daddy took over for mommy duty and laid with Nolan while I had my first chance of the day to eat (and snap some pics)! (I must brag, I'm one lucky lady!)




Saturday night was by far the WORST/SCARIEST night as a parent thus far. Nolan went to bed at his normal time of about 7:30 and was up around 12:00 crying/barking and wheezing! Cy had just gone through Croup, so we were just waiting/praying/hoping that when Nolan got it, it wouldn't be too bad. Well, it was REALLY bad! We were up ALL night and only found relief for him about 4:00am by opening up his bedroom window (It was probably 45 degrees outside) and letting him breathe in the COLD air. There Nolan and I "slept", in his rocking chair, until about 6:30 am. We had our first Community Group at church that David and I are leading, so he went to church and I stayed home with both boys. David was talking to a friend of ours in class about Nolan and she recommended we get him to the ER immediately, so David came home and we rushed Nolan to the ER. They quickly escorted us to a room and started a breathing treatment and gave him a steroid shot and tylenol for his fever. I was immediately relieved to find that our sweet boy found so much relief from the breathing treatment that he fell asleep! To keep this story short, we were there for most of the day Sunday and had 2 breathing treatments and were released with the doctor saying, "Tonight will probably be a tough one, so if you need to, please come back in and we will take care of him!" This really scared me, but Nolan took a huge nap as soon as we got home, went to bed at 7:00 and slept ALL NIGHT until 8 am the next morning, not waking up at all! They say God answers prayers, but sometimes with a no...God didn't answer our prayer of keeping Nolan away from the virus, but he did answer it with a great nights sleep for EVERYONE! :)
Thank you for all of your prayers for our sick boys! We are healthy once again!
