Things with which my weekend consisted...
Friday night, actually Saturday morning around 3:00am, Little Man woke with a horrible barking, dry cough. He could hardly talk and got very upset, and was having trouble breathing...
I immediately gave him a dose of benadryl in case he was having an allergic reaction of some sort. After a few minutes and he was still having trouble breathing without a major Darth Vader sound, we took him to the ER...
I want to shout out for the local ER, they have a separate ER for children!! I was so very impressed by that. We didn't have to wait at all to be taken back and treated. Maybe that is a common thing in some places, but it hasn't been my experience in the past when I had to make ER visits with the kids...not that we've done it much, but we have a few times in the past twenty years of parenting...
They gave him two breathing treatments and a dose of steroid--that did the trick, got him very jazzed!!
He has croup and a bronchial thing...so we are doing breathing treatments every four hours and as needed plus five days of steroids...(Read-hyper little hulk boy)!
Lauren left Saturday to go back to Little Rock...twice...
The first time Andrew took her to the airport and they had over booked the flight, so they had to reschedule several people...
They came home for a few hours and I took her back...off she went...
She left on the midnight train to Georgia...actually the 8:00 plane to Little Rock, via Charlotte, but that doesn't make for very good song lyrics now does it?
So we sadly said goodbye and are moping around today adjusting to her being gone, again...
How about something easy to fix and comforting to eat?? I need some soup, maybe Potato and Leek, but I don't feel like doing all the work...
How about some piggies in a blanket...
Quick and easy...cocktail sausage and some crescent roll dough cut into strips, add a little non-stick spray. Put in the oven for twelve minutes or so...voila...add mustard and enjoy...
