update.....

OK so it has been a long week we will say. First of all last Friday Matt, me and Colin went to Jackson and stayed with my very best friend, Alisha for the night. We had a ball just catching up on everything... I will post pictures later of that trip! next we came home Sat morning. Matt and I went hunting Sat afternoon I blasted a doe!!!! Yay for me! Matt had to drag the deer quite a ways and I felt pretty bad about that. any who....all was good Colin did great on his first out of town trip! Sat night around midnight Colin starts making this loud noise like he could not get his breath.....(also those who have babies know how much worse it sounds over the monitor) So Matt and I rush into his room I pick him up first and start hitting him on his back so he can cough up whatever is bothering him. He was still making strange noises so Matt got him and started also hitting him on the back....finally he got ok only then he was scared half to death....I don't know from us hitting him or him not being able to catch his breath!!! Needless to say we first check his temp... nothing, low matter of fact. Then Matt says I am going to wal mart to get a humidifier (sp?) so he can breathe. I said ok I will keep him in here(our room) with me for now. Which those of you who also know Matt and I never keep Colin in our room neither of us sleep well like that. So while Matt is gone, I decide to check Colin's temp again it was rising.... 99.5 I know that is not a lot but for my little man it is. He usually keeps about 97degree so I am getting worried. Matt gets back home I get Colin back to sleep and an hour later the same thing happens again so I pick him up quickly trying to help him....this happened every hour after that. Needless to say Matt nor myself got much sleep that night and we were going to take the little man to north MS medical clinic on Sunday afternoon to make sure we could wait to go see his pediatrician on Monday and didn't need to go to the ER. Well we got there to sign him in and they said oh Blair how old is he....I say 41/2 months. We don't take them younger than 6 months....I lost it. So I call his Dr's office talk with a nurse who ask lots of questions and ultimately said put him in a steamy room if he gets worse take him to the ER. So Matt put him in a steamy room and he of course got worse. I called Dr. Turner to just see what he thought if we could wait or if I needed to go then. So he listened to him and could here him trying to get his breath over the phone and suggested we should go on to the ER. So we go....they do lots of test and x-rays to find out he had the croup... follow up on wed with his Dr. So we give him steroids, and breathing tx's until we see the Dr. We see Dr. Buckle for the first time and we really liked him by the way. He told us that it was not croup (anymore) that it had moved down to his bronchioles (sp)? It was not in his lungs though. He gave us some cough medicine to give him to help him not cough so bad. He is doing better but still has a mean sounding cough. He was unable to go to Daycare all week so we will just say he has been spoiled staying home for the week. He will return tomorrow which should be very interesting for his teachers!!! His teachers are so wonderful and we are very thankful and blessed to have such wonderful ladies to keep our little man!!! anyway so it was a very crazy week to say the least!!! I hope this week will be better!! I hope everyone else is staying healthy this time of year! Hope to post pictures soon!!! Have a blessed week! Oh I will say Colin is changing so much everyday. He is rolling over lots now. Will sit up for just a few seconds before falling, holding everything in his hands....and taking everything to his mouth!!! He is a mess and we love him more and more everyday! Thank you Lord for blessing me with the most wonderful husband and most precious child......
