Our Trip in a ....

AMBULANCE.

Yesterday we took Bradley into Urgent Care because he wasn't feeling well and knew the next day we where leaving for Cali and wanted to make sure he had some medicine to help him out. He had been running a fever off and on for about 4 days and he had been coughing for about a week. When we finally got into urgent care the nurse started yelling for the Dr. once the Dr came in she started yelling for someone to call 911 and get an ambulance. Apparently Bradley wasn't breathing like he should be and in came paramedics and a stretcher. I had Bradley there by myself because we thought he just had an earache and since we only have one car I was calling Bryan to keep him informed and trying to find him a ride to pick up the car. Well needless to say, Michelle came and saved the day. She went and picked up Bryan from the house and took him to urgent care to pick up our car so he was able to take meet us at Cook's Children's Hospital. While at Cook's they X-ray'd his stomach, lungs and throat because about a week and half ago he swallowed a penny. The penny was gone, but we did find out that he has two ear infections and RSV. Basically RSV was explained to me as the worst cold you could ever had. We were given and inhaler, a prescription to help with his lungs, and told to alternate Tylenol and Motrin every three hours. Cook's didn't find anything wrong with the oxygen he was getting and they said that the abuterol he got at urgent care probably took care of that. The Med-Star people were amazing. Bradley was pretty out of it, but the paramedics were really nice and explained everything. They worked really hard to help Bradley. We got home about 1 a.m. and are now in California. The plane trip went as expected and was fine.



Thanks again Michelle, you will never know how much we appreciate what you did for us.
