So Grayson took his first trip to the emergency room at 12am this morning. I was up watching a movie (which never happens) and I heard him barely catch his breath so I went into his room and immediately recognized that Grayson had croup. Blake had it when he was 15 months old but little Grayson is only 5 months and it can be pretty dangerous because it closes his airways. We can thank Blake for the learning curve on what to do. So I took him while Billy waited for my mom to come up and stay with Blake. Thank you mom for driving up late and sleeping at the house. It is always nice to be able to call you in a pinch like this. Grayson was treated last night and then went back to his regular doctor this morning. The biggest problem that they were worried about was that his oxygen levels were very low but once they got him on the meds and cool mist - then he was able to breathe much better.
Blake has been battling a sinus infection along with a nasty cough whereas Grayson had stayed clear from it all until last night. The scary thing with croup is that it sets it very quickly and typically at night so we are always thankful for the monitors because that is how I heard Blake and now Grayson. So my saying in life is that it is always something.....never a dull moment in the Conner household. Sorry no pictures to document this "first".
