Valentine's Day this year just didn't turn out like we had planned. That morning, Ashton was really wheezing and coughing. His inhaler didn't help him and we also did a back to back treatment with his nebulizer and that didn't work either. We ended up taking him to the ER. They took a chest x-ray, gave him an hour long breathing treatment and they tested him for influenza. The chest x-ray came back okay and he was negative for the flu. When we left, he was still a little wheezy and they said if he got bad again, to come back. We continued the breathing treatments at home and I took him to his Dr. the next day. We had to do round the clock every 3 hour breathing treatments. He finally went back to school on Thursday for part of the day. We had a check up during the day too. He went back on Friday for a full day. He's doing much better!
So, since we didn't get to make our homemade pizzas on Valentine's Day, we had them on Monday. They did get a few gifts from us and my parents. We got Ashton and Sawyer some Transformers that they wanted and Hadleigh got some zhu zhu pets. They also got a little bit of candy. We didn't go overboard though. They had a good day, despite the ER visit cutting into our day.
This is the only picture we took that day. Jerry actually took it, because it summed up how exhausted we all were.
poor ashton! hope he is doing better!! so stressful on all you guys...i never knew how much i would worry as a parent...and always feel so helpless when they are sick!
