Impromptu Hospital Stay

Hubby had been out of town for four days and had just gotten back when The Chief was having a hard time breathing. He had been diagnosed with asthma (come to find out there are a lot of doctors out there that say you can't diagnose asthma in younger kids...but I digress), and on occasion would take albuterol with a nebulizer. Not the funnest thing to do with a two year old, but worth it when it helps. Well, long story short, I took him to the doctor, he wasn't responding to breathing treatments and ended up going to the emergency room. From there he was transferred to a children's hospital and was there until he stabilized. Luckily he bounced back pretty quick and was only hospitalized for 48 hours...though that is a long time for a little one. 


Upside down bunny nose.
We kept getting asked how he got the wound on his head. That's a rug burn from wresting with Little Bird on the carpet.


Can I just say that I hope none of you will ever have to hold down your kid while a nurse sticks an IV in them and draws blood for ten minutes. For some reason they don't like it!! :(


I let him take some selfies to distract him so he wouldn't pull off the mask.


 Checking out his stethoscope. They let him take it home, which he thought was really cool.


Taking a ride in the wagon. He didn't stay in it for very long. In fact, he got out and started pulling it around.


On the main floor there was a model train set up and The Chief could push a button and make the train move. We spent a lot of time looking at the trains.
