Our First Trip to the ER!

Well Saturday was an exciting day! If you can call going to the ER exciting! Jeremiah has been battling a cold and cough. I went to work on Saturday and my Mom, Dad, Aunt Cammie and my grandparents (you think Jeremiah was in heaven with all those people to care for him! haha!) watch Jeremiah for me. Mom and my grandmother (we call her Nonny) said that Jeremiah's cough was getting worse and was going into his chest, so we gave him some cough medicine, but that didn't help. By the time I to their house after work Jeremiah was wheezing really bad, so I called the nurse on call and she listened to his breathing and she told me to take him to the ER right away! So that's what we did, packed up and ran to CMC to have Jeremiah checked out! Talk about scary! They gave Jeremiah a nebulizer treatment and his wheezing improved. They said that his cough had settled into his chest, which was causing the wheezing, and that he may just have some kind of virus that's going around! Whew! At least that's all it was! So, needless to say it was around 12am when we got home and Jeremiah threw up in the car on the way home, so I was up even later cleaning up that!! I had to take Jeremiah to the Doctor yesterday because he needed a follow up with his Pediatrician and because his cough didn't sound any better, even though we've been doing the nebulizer treatments. The doctor said that Jeremiah has an ear infection! AARRGGG!!!! The infection came from all the congestion that was built up in his head! So, now he's on antibiotics and cold medicine AND the nebulizer treatments! Boy! That sure is a lot to do! But at least it's under control now! A HUGE praise is that we have medical insurance now!! So our insurance should cover all costs!! What a blessing!!! Here are some pictures of Jeremiah's first ER visit! When we left the hospital Jeremiah was waving bye-bye and blowing kisses to all the nurses and doctors! It was so cute!

Here is Jeremiah and Oma in the waiting room playing. He doesn't really look sick does he?!

I had to wear this thing on my toe so the doctors could measure my breathing! I did not like that!

Do you like my new gown and socks? Haha!

Here I am getting my treatments!
