trip to the er...

our little man was running a fever last night.

he really hadn't been himself all day.

i put him to bed and he was asleep by 7.

he woke up crying at 9:30. he was coughing and seemed to be working harder to breathe.

we took him temp and it was at 101. we gave him some tylenol and re-took his temp about 30 minutes later and it was almost 104! to st. e's emergency room we went.

the diagnosis...his croup hadn't gone away yet and he also had an ear infection.

so they gave him a steroid shot to help with the swelling in his airway from the croup and gave us a prescription for an antibiotic.

max and daddy were home around 1 and mommy went to the pharmacy because she didn't have to work in the morning and was in bed by 2:30.

let's hope he starts to feel better soon!

and...just a funny comment about the picture.

the largest size of diaper they had was a 3.

so, last night mr. max wore his first pull up! :)
