memorial weekend

what a crazy, long weekend! i had been looking forward to this weekend for a while & had big plans for brogie & i-but plans rarely work out with a little babe! we were planning on going to oakley on saturday where my family camps every year for memorial day. i knew jake would be working so it would be a nice outing for us..,WRONG! brogie had other plans. i went to pick him up from brenda's friday after work and jake's pickup was there...weird since it was like 3:00 in the afternoon during hay. i walk in & brenda tells me, brog was great but it looks like he's got a little runny nose oh & jake is downstairs really sick. i go down & he is not looking so good. so i left him there to sleep & went to get some sick supplies from the store w brog. jake made it home & wasn't doing any better, brog still doing fine though. well as the night went on, brog was getting worse. terribly runny nose, coughing & being really fussy. by the time his bedtime rolled around, he was not doing well so i started out sleeping on the floor next to him in his room. that didn't last long. he soon ended up in my arms just moaning and crying, trying to sleep but would wake himself up by coughing. it was heart wrenching. so helpless. i gave him some medicine & checked his temp. my thermometer just kept climbing after 100.1 so i decided to wake my poor sick hubby up to tell him i'm taking bubba to the ER. turns out, he had an upper respiratory infection & beginning stages of bronchitis. the most horrifying part of the night was when they called the respiratory therapist down to suck out his nose! jake was balled up trying not to throw up so i had to literally hold brog down so he could suck his nose! i cried the entire time. then he said he didn't get as much as he would have liked so he stuck a teeny, tiny tube up his nose to get deeper...saddest thing i've seen & i'm not done yet! after all that was done, TWICE, he started coughing it up. the saline had broken up all the mucus and it was so deep in his chest he was choking on it--terrifying! but he did survive. it was the longest 2 days but we made it through! he is still fighting a runny nose but i'm pretty sure that's due to his little teeth coming in! we did end up going to oakley sunday after church for a bit, which was freezing but fun. glad brog's first time being sick is over...now on to the next.

in oakley, he was not impressed i put his bear suit on him!
