Like Trey’s new bracelet? It’s what you get when you have to go to the ER! Not my plan for the day, but after he woke up from his nap he was wheezing and sounding horrendous. I called the Children’s Hospital hotline and they said that was typical with croup and to spend 20 minutes in a steamy bathroom (all the boys loved that) and if that didn’t work to head outside for 20 minutes. Yeah, I took the boys down to the beach for some cool air for Trey and on the way back up the hill he was sounding REALLY bad. We didn’t even take shoes off, I dropped the other boys with Dee and headed to the ER. After waiting, and waiting and waiting some more we were taken to a room to have a “chilled air” breathing treatment and wait some more. Trey was a trooper and we got him some meds and he’s doing much better.

While I was at the ER, Dee put on a nice dinner for my parents. I had put a roast in the slow cooker and she made mashed potatoes and homemade gravy and ice cream. She’s a keeper!

Carlos is sounding bad now…fingers crossed that we don’t have to make another trip to the ER.
