Not such a fun two days...






As many of you know, we had a scare with Luke. On Sunday night he went to bed just fine, and woke up an hour and a half later, and was not able to breath. I stuck him in the shower, and took him outside, and he was no better, so we went to the emergency room. They gave him a breathing treatment right away, and watched for a while. They said that he had Croup, caused by some other virus. They said RSV but I don't really think that was it, as he really wasn't sick before. Anyhoo...he was given another breathing treatment, and a round of steroids. They observed us for another hour or so, and then decided they wanted to admit him. WHAT??? So we were at the hospital from Sunday night through Tuesday morning. During this time he had more breathing treatments, and steroids, and spent as much time as he could in his oxygen tent. He was such a trooper. We are so blessed that it wasn't worse, although it was bad enough. When the Dr. came in on Tuesday morning, Luke had finally had enough poking, and listening, and steam, and told the Dr. to "GO!!!!", I couldn't help but laugh, and told him to be nice, he then lowered his chin to his chest, knitted his eyebrows, and whispered "Go.." I can't say that I blame him, but it was pretty cute. Thanks to all our family and friend for the well wishes, and to Melissa, for the Olive Garden, and Bachelor break!! Love to all.

Olive Garden was the least that I could do. Thanks for the break from work. I wish it was under different circumstances. I'm glad he's feeling better.
love you

Oh how sad! You don't know whether to laugh at the cute little face or be sad cause he's surrounded by plastic. Poor little guy. We love you guys and we are glad Luke is doing better.
