Where were you at 3am?

Ty and I spent a couple hours in the ER.

You know it's early when you get to watch

the sun rise on the drive home.

Ty awoke at 2:30 with severe jaw pain

and his face was really swollen.  I haven't

liked his reactions to the medicine and Jason

and I both feared that he was having another

allergic reaction (this is the boy that is

allergic to Benadryl...weird, right). 

We talked to the triage nurse at our

pediatricians office and she said to get him to

the hospital.  Of course by the time we arrived

his symptoms were subsiding and his blood

oxygen level read 98% which is awesome!

The ER doctor believes that the 4 week long

cough & vomit we experienced last time was

bronchitis.  He recommended only using the

inhaler if Ty can't stop his coughing fits.

Again, mothers intuition tells me that the

asthma wasn't the right diagnoses (but I am

not a doctor).  This doctor did find an ear

infection that may have been the main cause

for the jaw pain.  He couldn't emphasis enough

the importance of the trip to a Pulmonary

Specialist either.  Too bad they can't get us

in until April!  We're on a cancellation list, too.

Next stop is our Pediatrician on Monday.

Let's get this boy's blood oxygen figured out!
