It was definitely a trying time, and one I never wish to have happen again. <br /><br />Luckily, Jameson did recover fast and a week later I would say he is nearly 100%. <br /><br />@Jenn-No question in my mind it was time to go to the ER, I just didn't realize that the nebulizing treatment wouldn't work. Never in my mind did I think I was about to bring my son to be intubated, knocked out and have a stay in the PICU! I knew that there was nothing more I could do at home, and he needed help that I couldn't provide, but yes I was going back and forth. In the end, I am glad I went with my gut and headed to the ER. I know we did everything right, so I don't have those "what-if's" but very easily could have if I chose to "wait it out a few more hours." They told us stories of people who waited too long and the child had passed while they waited for the EMTs. Tragic. <br /><br />@Sarah- You had a traumatic doctor experience too, don't feel bad about complaining. It's hard all around dealing with medical issues, and holding a screaming fighting child down to get blood is very hard.Aimeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756488774000631366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891744631165453474.post-88216042002116515902010-11-15T15:23:19.506-07:002010-11-15T15:23:19.506-07:00Oh Aimee, like everyone else - tears are rolling d...Oh Aimee, like everyone else - tears are rolling down my face. I can't imagine (and selfishly hope I never will) what that was like. I am proud of you for remaining calm and strong for your boy. Thank you for sharing this story. As soon as Ellie wakes up from her nap, I will give her an extra hug. <br /><br />PS. Your week last week made my little trip to the doctors with Ellie seem so silly. Sorry that I complained on my blog. :(girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378785038793942135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891744631165453474.post-83369007131553058082010-11-14T21:37:58.365-07:002010-11-14T21:37:58.365-07:00Wow, Aimee!

I'm so glad you trusted your gut on this one and that there was medical assistance to help Jameson. I can't wait to hear how everything plays out. This is a great journal account for Jameson to have--he'll be so glad you recorded it someday.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16878531533297640280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891744631165453474.post-71864362536735257862010-11-14T20:15:57.617-07:002010-11-14T20:15:57.617-07:00Oh Aimee!

Based on what I know from Facebook, it sounds like he recovered very quickly, which I'm sure was a relief. I hope you all are doing all right now, though I'm sure that it will take a long time to get over what happened. Thanks for sharing this, and I look forward to reading the rest.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02559694915673726044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891744631165453474.post-1639997179497610862010-11-14T10:02:22.044-07:002010-11-14T10:02:22.044-07:00Wow, Aimee!

I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad he's doing much better and that he's home now.Joleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650179307987446604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-891744631165453474.post-65938490504237464442010-11-13T22:38:43.346-07:002010-11-13T22:38:43.346-07:00Oh my gosh Aimee, reading this brought tears to my...Oh my gosh Aimee, reading this brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills. I can't stand the thought of someone giving Emersyn chest compressions, oh my gosh, it takes my breath away just thinking about it. I am so so glad that he is home with you now and I'm looking forward to hearing how the story "ends". I think Emersyn has had croup before but not anything severe....being a mom is so nerve wracking. Thank you Lord for healing sweet Jameson.Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971012085038794640noreply@blogger.com
