We had been planning a trip to San Antonio this weekend for weeks now, and were so excited to go! We packed up the car and headed to the Riverwalk! Both kids in great health! Then, when we got there and Javin was playing outside with some of his friends, we noticed his voice was starting to get horse.... no big deal. We checking into the hotel, and relaxed for a little bit. Then we decided to go shopping at the Riverwalk mall, and Javin started jumping up and down on the bed saying "I'm so excited!" (This made the whole trip totally worth it!) We shopped for a bit, then met up with our friends and took the riverboat cruise. I was a bit bummed that I forgot to take my camera, but, we did have the whole weekend to take pictures, so no big deal...ha. At about 10, we went back to the hotel and prepared to go to sleep. (That itself was a nightmare... ever time Javin made a noise, Rylan woke up, and vice versa) We finally got them to sleep around 11pm. Then, at 11:58, Javin wakes up gasping for breath! It was horrible, and it wasn't getting any better, so Trevin took him to the ER. By the time he got there, of coarse, Javin was breathing better. The wait at the ER was very long, so Trevin called me, and we decided to just drive home and take Javin to our own ER if he needed it, as there was no way were were going to sea world now! When we got home at 3:40 AAAMMM, Trevin went with Javin to sleep. At 6, he came into our room and woke me up saying Javin couldn't breath again, and was taking him to the ER. When he got to the ER, they checked his Oxegen level, and it was very low, so they Transferred him by ambulance to the Childrens hospital where he was admitted. He received a bunch of breathing treatments and was doing much better, thank heavens! The decided he had croup, and were going to keep him for at least 24 hours for observation.... um.... I think I can watch him at home thank you very much! I found it ridiculous that they wanted to keep him overnight, especially since, if you know Javin, you know that he never spend 1 minute in his hospital bed. In Fact, he literally ripped his hospital gown off his body! Hulk style! He spent the whole time crying to go home, and walking the halls! My poor baby just wanted to go home, and sleep in his own bed! I hold the hospital that we were going to check out (as that is my right as his parent!) and they told me that there would be tons of paperwork, and a visit with Social Services, before they would let us go. ( as well as a probable visit from them at home) hahahaha, people, he has CROUP!!! Get a freaking life!! Finally I got them to agree to let us go home that evening, without having to jump through all their hoops. They rented us a nebulizer, and we did the breathing treatments at home. Javin is doing much better, being in his own environment and finally able to sleep! Long story... long... but it was probably the worse night/ day of our lives thus far! Oh yeah, and to add insult to injury, Javins hospital room had Shamu all over the walls! He walked in and yelled "Shampoo!" (We had been telling him all week he was going to see Shamu.) Next time when we actually go to Sea World, he is NOT going to want to see "Shampoo" :)
Where Javin spent most of the time... in the visiting area, NEXT to his room.
At least Rylan would wear the robe!
He is so freaking cute!!
Javin and his tools.. off to fix something!
When the hospital heard a 2 year old was coming in, they had a crib set up for him... but the moment they saw him, they went and switched his bed to this baby :)
So we are home now.... nightmare OVER!!!
