One of Those Days

Hannah had an interesting moment with my mom yesterday. She was there while I was at dance. She loves to go there because my mom always has projects and fun things for them to do. They love their Grandma! They were making cookies and my mom turned to get something out of the fridge and she heard a scream. She turned and saw Hannah being pulled into the mixer. One of her ponytails was getting wrapped up in the turning part. Hannah doesn't function well in these kind of circumstances so I'm sure it was a little stressful for my poor mother. She stopped it but then had a hard time getting her hair unraveled. After thinking she might have to cut off one of the ponytails, she finally got it unstuck. Thanks mom for saving her hair. They had to start all over on the cookies because the eggs and butter were now all over in Hannah's hair. I'm just glad I didn't come and pick her up and see a brand new haircut.

The next crazy moment of the day was when Heath and I were going to bed about 11:00 and we heard Hayden crying and struggling to breath. I went and got him out of bed and he could not catch his breath. His poor lungs were working so hard. In between breaths he was saying, I can't breath. Someone help me. Then as a parent you are thinking to yourself, what do we do? Should we take him in? Where do you take him this time of the night? We tried to just stay up with him until about 1:00 but it wasn't getting any better so Heath finally took him into the ER. They gave him a breathing treatment and monitored him for a couple of hours. He has croup. We finally made it to bed about 4:00. We are all a little tired today. They say it is going around so if you hear the barking cough and are having a hard time breathing you will know what it is. Hopefully the perscription that they gave will help him so we don't have another one of those nights. It is so hard to see you kids sick and not know what to do for them.
