First ER Trip

Well last Friday Cameron was starting to come down with something, which we thought was a cold. So Marcus stayed home with him because his mom which watches Cameron had to go to a wedding that weekend in Vegas. So then Cameron was starting to get really congested and just sounded horrible. We put him to sleep in bed with us around 10:30pm only because when Cam is sick I always have him with us just so I can make sure he is still breathing and doing fine. Around 12:30am he woke up screaming and crying and gasping for air. I thought oh no this isn't good. So I woke Marcus up and told him that Cameron isn't sounding right like he is struggling to get air. So we stayed up with him until he was able to calm down and then we would decided what to do from there. I was so freaked out I called my mom at work around 3:30am at the hosiptal and asked her what she thinks we should do. She heard him cough really bad so she said to take him to ER at Primary Childrens. I started crying because this was the first time taking him in for a serious problem. So we got all packed up and got to the ER at Primarys around 4:30am. Luckily we didnt have to wait and we got taken back and Cameron got hooked up to machines to take his vitals and make sure all the was great. Thank goodness it was and the nurse said he thinks that Cameron has the Croup. I was like okay I can handle that I was really scared for RSV and some other bad sicknesses. Then we got taken back into an exam room where we waited about 20 mins for a nurse to come and check on him and then she gave him a steriod medicine to help open his airway back up. Me and Marcus could tell that after a while the medicine was working because he was getting back to his normal self of jumping and giggling and playing. We also sat and watched Mickey Mouse's Clubhouse with him while we were there and waited for more doctors to come in. Finally the doctor came in and explained everything to us and said that he has the Croup and told us that he would be fine in a few days and just make sure he gets his rest. Finally we left the ER around 6:30am and got home to where he was passed out already in the car and we were also ready to finally go back to sleep. Thank goodness it was nothing too serious.
