E.R. Again!

Carlos got his 3rd trip to he E.R. tonight. He has croup. Again. This was night three of this bout. We had been doing fine managing it at home until tonight. He woke up and was gasping for air, crying silently while trying to catch his breath and gagging. In we went. Triage room is never fun. Many tries to get an accurate weight. 29 lbs. Motrin for his 101.3 fever. Sent to the waiting room. Steroid administered in the waiting room. Puke all over grandma. Called back to a room. Steroid administered again. 1.5 hours. 3 nurses. 1 absent minded Dr. who forgot to tell the nurses to discharge us before going on break. But, we are home and he is breathing easy.
