What a week

Hectic week. Monday night when i came come for supper Dylan sounded a bit wheezy so Ciro took him to the doc while i went to class. 9pm Ciro pulled up at.. school we had to go to hospital. Doctor wanted Dylan x-rayed to check there was nothing lodged causing the wheezing...the alternative was an asthma attack. We were sent to the veterans hospital. The x-ray was an ordeal in itself...very distressing to Dylan..thankfully nothing was lodged but they wanted to keep him under observation and on a drip ...anyone who knows Dylan knows how well he took to this. They taped his hand to a little splint to stop him pulling it out...he tried to use the splint to pry open the window, lift the bed rail and do a handstand. Needless to say at about 1am the drip was not looking good..they removed it and the doc said another was not necessary, they would check and put another in at 4am if necessary. As soon as it was removed he was able to pass out. The three of us lying in this hospital bed trying to get some zzzz's was a sight i am sure. Unfortunately for me there was too much noise and light so i was not able to sleep....so at 4am I walking to the 7-11 for coffee and a newspaper. Ciro got a bit of sleep and then he went to work in the am. They discharged us before lunch with instructions to use a nebuliser at home. Spent the next two days at home trying to keep a toddler on steroids calm....needless to say not an easy task!He is fine now especially as the meds are finished. We reckon it came about as a result of an allergy to something. I am a little disorientated with my week...but very happy that it is Friday. Dylan slept till 10am this morning...so did I. Felt sooo good!
