Soccer Awards, Jack Hammer Man, and ER

Thursday evening we stopped by the Dr's office to get Ryan his flu shot... Have I mentioned my big manly husband who can shoot a deer and do all those manly things really really hates needles?? He said the worst part of his surgery last year was getting the bloodwork the week before. I have to laugh at him for this! Anyway, he got his shot, and did fine. I told him he has to have more coaxing and bribing than B does! After he got his shot we headed to Joe Mama's for Brycen's soccer awards and pizza party.

Yep, do you see Brycen? He was telling them a bigggg story! He cracks me up.

Getting their trophies!

He is so proud of this thing!

Friday morning we got to dress him up in his costume to wear to school. They came to the court house trick or treating so I got to see him... my sweet little "jack hammer man" haha! :)

He said he couldn't smile b/c "worker mans" don't smile...

I finally got this really fake one out of him though.

That night we went to my parents to have leftovers for supper from their small group meal the night before... yummy bbq and cheesey potatoes... and other stuff I can't remember! lol. That was the only place B got to trick or treat (besides the court house, where he got way too much candy). I didn't get a picture w/ all his candy... my mom also got him sticker books which he loved and def. came in handy on Saturday. All Friday evening he was coughing his head off and couldn't catch his breath. Friday night we were up every 45 min. to 1 hour b/c he couldn't breathe and would wake himself up coughing. Saturday morning he still didn't have a temp or anything so I was going to try and hold off until Mon. and get him into the Dr., but by noon it was very apparent he was only getting worse so we ran to the ER. We had the same Dr. we had last time (who we LOVED!). He said he was glad we got him in when we did or it would of turned into pneumonia AGAIN. We were just there 5 weeks ago w/ that. When we got to the ER he did have a temp of almost 101 and he hadn't had one at all when we were at home. His chest xray was pretty clear though. They said it was his asthma and put him on oral steroids... he was VERY happy not to have to get a shot! They also put him on a stronger antibiotic so hopefully any infection that would be left will get OUT! We don't want to have to go back in another 5 weeks! When we got home Sat. he just played w/ his sticker books and watched movies... you could tell in his eyes he didn't feel good. I felt so bad for him! That night we were up about every 2 hours (which was better than every hour).

Sunday we just stayed in the house and tried to get our baby boy back to being healthy. I could really tell when the steroids started helping b/c his breathing was a difference of night and day. He was still coughing, but not wheezing. That night my parents and brother came and brought us chili. My brother was home for the weekend and B was heartbroken when I told him he wasn't going to get to see him since he was sick and we didn't want to get out. He was so happy when they decided to just come see us. He was begging Joe to just stay all night and have a sleepover and not go back to school. It was sooo sad!

Yesterday I let B sleep in a little bit b/c he had been up through the night again doing breathing treatments so I didn't want to wake him up when he was sleeping well. We came into work/school a little late... which was good for both of us. Last night I tried to rest up b/c I know my body is just run down from being up so often through the nights. I slept better last night than I had in about a week I think (and it still wasn't great!). Today I have to leave for the Dr. around 1pm. Brycen told me he would rather stay at school than go w/ me :( I think they are doing something fun today though. I have a few errands to run after my appt. I have a baby shower gift to get for this weekend and some other stuff I need to get afterward. I am soooo looking forward to my day off tomorrow.
