Back to the Hospital

So again, this month has been crazy with sickness.  On the 4th Greyson came home with a fever then it turned into croup.  On the 9th I got the flu.  On the 10th we found out Greyson had RSV (because he just wasn't recovering from Croup very well).  Then Mike got a cold and on the 13th Gavin threw up.  On the 12th Garett's cold started and by the 14th he was struggling to breathe, not eating very well and had a fever.

On the 15th, after he had been wheezing all day, I took him to the ER.  We got there at 8:45 pm after he had thrown up everything he ate for dinner.  I didn't have any clothes for him, so that was nice.  We finally got to a room at 10:15 and about 10:45 they came in to see us.  They suctioned him and tested for RSV.  He was positive for it.  At about midnight they were going to release us but his oxygen levels started to dip below 92%, so they had to give him oxygen and admit us.  That was horrible.  At about 3:30am we got into our hospital room and had a horrible rest of the night.  The plan was he had to be off oxygen and breathing at 92% or better for 6 hours.  So at 9am they took him off the oxygen with the hopes of going home at 3pm!  He did really good, kept hydrated and they released us at 4:30 with a prescription for an ear infection (why he kept fevering).  He threw up again Monday night when we got home and Tuesday night after eating his bottle before bed.

On Monday, Mike also got the flu and since the 14th I have had this wicked cold.  But everyone (except me) is on the mend and doing better.  Garett is a little stuffy and had a cough still but everyone else is getting better! Thank goodness! Now, if I could only get better...
