Record year...
My kids have been the sickest this school year than they have ever been in their whole lives! Both boys had H1N1. Two weeks ago they both had Strep throat. And last night Drake got the Croup which flared up his asthma and sent him spiraling today. Nothing I did helped. As the day progressed on it just got worse and worse. After supper we headed to Urgent care because he just wouldn't eat and his coughing just wouldn't stop and his breathing was becoming more shallow. They took his pulse ox as soon as we got there and it was 89! It should be around 97/98! 89 is hospitalization! They didn't even bother with chest xrays. Just wanted us to get to the E.R. asap! The E.R. was swamped of course. Not a free room in the place. Had to wait a bit. And then had to wait forever once we were in the room. His pulse ox showed higher than when we were at Urgent care, so apparently they didn't feel he was top priority. Finally, they gave him a breathing treatment mixed with a steroid and also gave him a liquid steroid. He finally began to perk up, and we were told that the viral infection, or croup, was flaring up his asthma and we would need to give him steroids for the next 3 days and keep a close eye on his breathing and temperature. We left the E.R. around 10:00pm. We also had Gage with us, who needed to get to bed for school in the morning! Drake was finally hungry now that he was feeling a little better. He hadn't eaten barely 2 bites of food all day! So I made a trip through McDonalds for him, and he was WIDE awake from the steroids. It took forever for him to fall asleep. Morning is going to come early for all of us. I will be missing yet another day of work. I'm looking forward to having only 2 school days left after the holiday, and then I am done for the year. We need summer.

89 means that if he were on Medicare he would qualify for home oxygen. just fyi. :) thats what i get for working in a pharmacy. hehe.
and i was just saying the other day that i feel like they've been sick every time you turn the corner this year! geesh!! what up with that?!
I know! Several moms I know have said the same thing about theirs, too! Must be a bad year for every sickness possible! I took him to Dr. Sojka anyway just to be sure and I am soooo glad I did because he finally did some chest xrays and saw that he had slight pneumonia so at last he gave him the anibiotic he needed! Love Dr. Sojka!
