Hospitalized :(

C had to be hospitalized this morning because of his breathing from the croup. He was having such a difficult time breathing all night. We tried all the tricks. We had a vaporizer in his room for the humidity, Nick sat with him outside in the cold air, I had sat with him in the steamy bathroom earlier in the day but nothing seemed to help. We brought him into the ER at 6:30am and the doctor ordered breathing treatments. C had a chest x-ray and everything from that looked good. His breathing wasn't getting any better so the pediatrician on-call admitted him for observation in hopes that we would be going home for supper. C has had to have breathing treatments every 2 hours since we got here. He hasn't slept more than an hour in two days and is just miserable. He is finally sleeping with Nick and the nurses are letting him rest. We are hopeful the breathing treatments will start to get more spread out now! C and I will be staying for the night. One of the grandparents will most likely have B and E for the nigth but we haven't decided yet. There is nothing worse then listening to your baby struggle to breathe! The pediatrician will not send him home until he doesn't need a breathing treatment for 6-8 hours.
