In the middle of the night I woke to the sound of Mr. C coughing...not all that scary in of itself. I got out of bed and went into check on him. His breathing was shallow and fast. His heartbeat was racing. He didn't want any blankets on to keep him warm and would not settle. I couldn't get him to sleep elevated at all and my mommy senses started to tingle.
Flashback to March 30th when Rhys died...and I started to panic. Pure panic and anxiety. I woke up John and we decided to bring Mr. C into bed with us...he started to wheezy and cough. John got dressed and into Children's they went. X-rays, blood work, ventalin and oxygen...and a diagnosis of pneumonia. He was admitted this morning and will spend some time on the ward, but I still think about Rhys, the loss sits so close to my heart and to be honest, scares the pants off me.
I called my mom to help out. There are times when we just can't go it alone. She'll arrive tonight and take on the day shift at the hospital. John and I will trade off the night shifts. I'm hoping it will be just a few days, all will be well and he can come home. I've got this really important party...that I'm really excited about...that I really want to happen....we're gonna make this work and my son will be home and healthy soon!
