Carson

Carson has given us quite a scare over the last few days.  I took him to the doctor on Friday afternoon for a little congestion and ear infection.  The doctor added a medication to his breathing treatments and put him on an antibiotic for his ear infection.  On Saturday, Carson got worse.  On Sunday, he was extremely lethargic and his color wasn't quite right.  We decided to take him to the urgent care clinic.  The nurse and medic checked him in and took his vitals.  His oxygen was at 84%.  Once the nurse saw 84%, they kicked it in high gear and the next thing I knew, we were in an ambulance on the way to the children's hospital downtown.  

Once we got to the ER, they took chest X-rays, hooked him up to an IV, and continued his oxygen and breathing treatments.  Turned out he had a respiratory virus that turned into pneumonia.  He perked up a bit last night to eat a cheese quesadilla (one of his favorites!) 

Today, Carson enjoyed looking out the window, playing in the playroom, and riding in the wagon!

I had a hard time keeping up with him in the playroom!

I had to include this one even though it's blurry.  He cracks me up!

We are now in our 2nd night in the hospital and he's feeling so much better!!  They weaned him off oxygen today and he's eating and drinking pretty well.  Looks like we will be going home tomorrow!  

Many thanks to everyone who jumped in to help out with the other three little rascals at home so Bryan and I could both be with Carson last night.  Such a blessing to have family nearby!!  

Praise God that He is our Healer, Creator, Prince of Peace, and Comforter during the storms.
