I take it back...

what I said yesterday about being in a fight with Chase because of a rough night.

Turns out (after another bad night last night, this time with a scary croupy cough) that my poor baby has pneumonia...confirmed by a trip to Kids Doc today on New Years Day.

He seems in good spirits, though has to have breathing treatments every 3 hours, isn't sleeping well, misses his Daddy and his Mommy is absolutely exhausted.



Sorry to Grandma and Daddy who received "freaking out" phone calls from me (at 2am and 4am, respectively) but a big thank you to Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Rob for helping me with Spencer and Leda today so I could tend to Chase.

Happy New Year, huh? lol

Marcy,

Sorry to hear about Chase. I too was in Kids Doc today with Jett. But mine wasn't as bad as yours, ear infection. I remember my son Jordan, my now 12 year old had the croup cough when he was 11 months old. We were in the ER. It scared me to death. I can totaly understand the phone calls to your mom. His tempeture was 106, I kid you not. We had to do breathing treatments in the hospital. He COULD NOT breath. It was so bad they had to shoot him up with adrenaline. I can't imagine how much harder it is for you though, because he was our first, so I didn't have two other children at home to care for. Bless your heart. But Jordan is now a very healthy 105 pound, 5 foot five 12 year old. So just remember, "This too shall pass."

Oh, no! Poor little Chase. What a crappy way to start the new year. I hope he gets to feeling better quickly, for all your sakes!!

Oh my! Poor little guy and definitely poor mommy too! I would have probably freaked out too so don't feel bad about that. I'm glad you have family close to help you out. I hope you get some rest soon.

Oh, and can I just say how cute that mask is? It doesn't make the mask look as scary with those eyes on it! Cute!

I'm so sorry to hear that! I know that can be so stressful for mom too. I hope he's feeling better soon.

How sad. Poor little guy. He looks awfully cute even when he's sick though. Happy New Year!
