My First Visit to the ER and Pediatrics Hospital

So here's how our week went. Monday same as it ever was. Tuesday more of the same. Wednesday we get it, the first ever call from day care. Our boy is boiling over with a fever of 102.3. So 45 minutes later we're on our way home. Graeme is pretty tired and yep he's got a temp gonna have to a day of school. Other than that he's pretty much same ole Graeme. Friday the wheels come off the wagon. After a day at home with Dad, Grandma Rudy stops by and as Jenn goes to show here how to use the temporal lobe thermometer the alarm sounds!!!  103.7 this kid is on fire, breathing heavy and sweating. After an aggregating call to our pediatrician's after hours line we decide screw it we're heading to the ER. I'll skip the details they involve rental thermometers, IVs, a few shots and having to essentially put Graeme in a straight jacket to do any of those things. Bottom line he had the beginnings of pneumonia and some added respiratory distress. We've now been here almost four days his symptomatic have abated, but his breathing is still labored. We are hoping to go home.tomorrow but we'll see what the doctor has to say. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers we believe they help so keep them coming. Last, happy mothers day to all the Moms out there especially Janice, Kath, Lynn and Fiona. All our love. Will, Jenn, Graeme and Kayla

Here are some pictures from our stay!
