heading to the E.R.

Please say prayers for Hudson...

Last night was what I feared would happen.
Had I not stayed up all night with him....suctioning him, and caring for him he would have possibly suffocated on the mucous he was coughing up.
We spent the night coughing, suctionong, seizing....until 4:30 a.m. He was wheezing, like in Dec., and I gave him albuterol. I just think I was prepared to get him through the night and knew I had no choice but  to stay up and make sure he was o.k.
I am sleepless and withered....but know I can't allow him to go on like this, or have another night like last night.
At one point I had wrapped my arms around him as he tried to sleep and all of the sudden his body started shaking as if he had the shivers. I turned my light on and held him and cried....I feared I may loose him....his breathing was off...the whole things was so scary....being all alone, dealing with this....made it so much more frightening.

I called Pam....she agreed....he needs to get to the E.R.

She said he will likely be admitted and will need I.V. fluids and we HAVE to get to the bottom of this never-ending cough/mucous.

I am praying all is revealed to these Doc's for them to figure out and get to the bottom of this.
I really don't know how Hudson can survive all of this....he amazes me!

Prayers needed for my other 2 H's....it is Hailey's bday week...I don't and can't think about that right now...but I know she will be very sad if we are not here....

Please keep us in prayer.....will post when I know where the day will lead us.

I am so sorry seems so moot! I am praying they find the problem quick and get him stable. Poor baby and Mommy, too.

Praying for you all! I pray that the doctors can find the source of all the gunk and get rid of it! Praying for emotional and physical strength for you both. Praying for comfort and patience for Hailey and Hunter while they wait and miss you both. Praying for God to wrap His arms around you all!

Praying for you all. We were in the hospital over Kamden's birthday and he handled it way better than I could have imagined. Take care of Hudson and don't worry about anything else right now. Hoping you'll get answers and rest soon.
