I’ve determined that although I committed to blogging every day for a month I obviously didn’t take into consideration that there are 4 Saturdays and 4 Sundays in a month. I’m cheating on my commitment. I will blog every weekday for the month. I’ve met that goal. I will still give up my Starbucks though for bailing on my original commitment. No worries. 5 days a week is better than what I was doing so I feel like I’m still making an increased effort.

Today is just a quickie post also. I just got home from spending 5 hours in the ER with little man Parker. Poor guy.

He got a runny nose and a bad cough over the weekend and by last night he had a high temp and rapid breathing. We were up every 4 hours doing breathing treatments and this a.m. he was still breathing super fast. I called the pediatrician but they couldn’t see him til this afternoon. I decided not to wait and took him to ER.

5 hours, 1 rectal temp, 3 breathing treatments, 2 chest xrays, 1 dose of oral steroids, 5 hours of oxygen and 4 stickers later we are home and he is sleeping. They came close to admitting him but determined he was making progress with the breathing treatments so they discharged us to come home. We’ll have to continue the treatments at home (which we are pros at due to Hudson’s asthma) every 3 hours and then follow up with his pediatrician in the a.m.

I’m super bummed since he just started preschool last week. 4 days of school and already sick. I am praying this won’t be a repeat of last year. AGH. I don’t know if I can survive another season of that. Send up some prayers!

Hope to return to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow. Had a fun senior session this weekend that I can’t wait to post about and still need to get up pics from Rebekah and Darren’s Labor Day wedding!
