Mid-night Scare

Last night was the scariest night so far in my role as a mother. It resulted in us dashing off to the Emergency Room because Brody was having a hard time breathing. We called the Pediatrician 24 hour number and they told us to go to ER. When we got there they couldn't hear anything in his lungs so they ran some tests. Poor little guy got tortured or so you would think with the amount of and decibel levels he was crying at. They took a rectal temperature (97.1), a snot sample for RSV (saline and tube up the nose), and x-rays of his lungs (kicked me out into the hall because of nursing). It is so hard being forced to stand outside of a room listening to your baby cry while you can't do a thing about it to comfort him. While we were waiting for the results the doctor gave him some asthma medicine using oxygen and a little breather contraption. It was like a humidifier but the moisture was medicine. We then waited almost 45 minutes for the results. The RSV came out negative and the x-rays looked fine so they let us go. They told us it was a cold or a URI (upper respiratory illness) and if it got worse to take him to his doctor. He slept pretty good but he keeps throwing up when I feed him. Now we get to figure out where to go from here. We'll keep you posted as we get more info.
