TAKE A DEEP BREATH

So on Wednesday I was back at the hospital with Little Man. Just the day before he started with a runny nose but the next day he was waking me at 6 a.m. coughing and crying. I knew it wasn't good. I kept them all home from school for the morning- no one wanted to get up anyway. So in the afternoon I took Curly and Pickle over to school and then Little Man and I were off to the hospital. Even though there was like a 3 hour wait- they took him right in- his SAT levels were so low. So we started with a mask of course and then a dose of steroids. It didn't do too much- so after another 2 mask treatments, they sent us home with a prescription for more steroids and orders to watch him to see if he got any better. So I race home, and in the meantime CC had gotten the other 2 from school- I had just enough time to get Pickle dressed and off we go to dance school. While she is in class, I run over to get Little Man's prescription filled, back to pick up Pickle and home to get everyone dinner. When I get home Little Man is crying and I could hear he was wheezing and coughing a lot. I get diner ready and realize he isn't getting any better. I pack a bag of colouring books and crayons and decide it's best to take him back- he sounded worse! Sure enough he was, his SAT levels were even lower than before... so, long story short-chest x-rays, another 4 mask treatments, and 2 more doses of steroids and we were home at 4 A.M.! They wanted to admit him but I didn't want that- so I agreed if the last mask didn't do anything we would - needless to say it it worked - he was doing much better by the time we left and I got him home and right into bed. What a long long long night- I still haven't fully caught up on all my sleep.. he's doing better though- poor little lamb... Now we just have to get Curly fixed up- waiting now for an appointment for a urologist- in JUNE! Jesus...
