Our weekend

Hudson woke up on Saturday acting kind of pitiful.  I assumed he just had a little cold.  He's also cutting his top two teeth which I'm sure is painful.  We went about our day despite him being unusually fussy. However, after his afternoon nap it seemed like Hudson was having a hard time catching his breath.  He was wheezing and when I tried to nurse him to calm him down he wouldn't latch and this never happens.  So, we immediately got in the car and went to Urgent Care.  We were taken to a room literally within 30 seconds of walking in the door and they hooked Hudson up to a pulse oximeter.  His oxygen saturation fluctuated betwen 88-91.  In the middle of all this, Hudson proceeded to throw up all over himself and me.  The PA who was seeing us gave us two options- be taken by ambulance to Brenners or to drive there immediately ourselves.  We opted to drive ourselves (making a short detour to our house to change clothes).  When we got to Brenners, Hudson proceeded to throw up again, this time he only got my sleeve thank goodness!
Long story short, he was really desaturated and the doctor was worried he might have pneumonia.  But, after giving him 12 albuterol treatments in 4 hours, he seemed to be responding well and they decided to let us go home (initially we thought we would have to stay at least one night).  They ruled our pneumonia and diagnosed it as "reactive airway disease" which was described to us as being the same thing as asthma- they just can't call it asthma in children under 5.  We are still giving him breathing treatments every 2-4 hours and a dose of prednisone each night for 4 days.  It broke my heart to see my poor boy so pitiful but I'm thankful that it wasn't anything more serious and he seems to be back to normal today!

Since Hudson was feeling so well today, we went to the Dash game with our life group. It was the most perfect weather and we all enjoyed ourselves- especially Hudson!
