Loma Linda Again

Thursday mornings are crazy enough, getting all 3 kids off to school and there on time. Then to add in the fact that poor little Grady couldn't breath this morning, it made the mornings craziness amplified. After having dropped everyone at school, I took Grady to our primary Dr. and he took one look and listen to him and sent us directly to Loma Linda! Background...Hope was sick with a cough and fever last week, but seemed to have passed it on to Grady and instantly he's wheezing and gasping for air :(

Anyway, thankfully the ER wasn't too busy and his age was a benefit. We got in about 9:30 and came home about 1:30. They gave him steroids to open his airways and did a breathing treatment and monitored his pulse-ox, heart rate and respiratory rate. I'm was a little nervous given his history that we might be admitted again, but thankfully they sent us home with steroids for a week and a new daily medication to keep him from getting that bad again, plus we are doing the "liquid gold" breathing treatments every 4 hours!

All is well now, the Oates house is silent except for the clicking of the keyboard as I type, but then again it should be it's almost midnight. :)
