Poor little Logan is sick, sick, sick. Luke and I had a terrible virus about 2 weeks ago and we thought that Logan had escaped it. However...it caught up to him yesterday morning. It started with just a slight cough and then the wheezing started. I stayed up with him most of the night praying he could take his next breath. Then early this morning it became much worse. Nate actually jumped out of bed and woke Luke up and they got dressed. We were heading for the ER. But then a miracle happened...he asked me to start singing "Jesus Loves Me" (his favorite beditme song that we MUST sing each night) and he was able to calm himself down enough to get at least short breaths in. He finally agreed to take his "smoke medicine" as he calls it (aka Albuterol breathing treatment) and his respiratory and heart rate starting coming down.I just hate that viruses go straight to his chest. I feel so bad when he's crying, gasping for air and telling me he's going to throw up. (Mucous...fun!) The doctor's office FINALLY called me back this morning (after a not-so-patient sounding mother left yet another message!) And would you know that the nurse said it wasn't neccessary to see him just yet since the virus just started! Unless, of course I felt that it was an emergency in which case I was to go to the ER. What? What is with these "professionals" out here!? Am I just used to being spoiled by our outstanding doctors we had in CA? Am I just one of "those" moms that have entitlement issues? I keep getting the feeling that my expectations are too high. But is that really so bad? Aren't I suppose to expect the best care when it comes to my children? Right now he's comfortable (wheezing and all) sitting on the couch watching Backyardigans. I dread tonight.

If I had you # I would SO be calling you!!!!!!
I totally need to share my thoughts on Saur *I like him and the staff but HIGHLY recommend specialists* I can definitely recommend a good Pulmonologist...which is totally sounds like you need AND I have the cutest masks *new* that he NEEDS..because they are cute and way more fun!
P.S. wheezing makes it sound like he needs a steriod....feel free to call me...if you want my two cents. Remember...I am FAR better at treating your child than mine.
:0)
I hope he feels better soon! Good luck with those doctors! It must be frustrating to call and get that kind of treatment when you know better then them when he needs to be seen! Our Love and prayers are with you and the family!
Love ya

you'd think in this economy they'd be happy to charge you for a visit :) poor guy- that's got to be really scary.
as far as the meals go- about half are actual real meals and the other half are chicken nuggets, scrambled eggs, frozen meals, etc... and all the "real" meals have short cuts, like frozen grilled chicken strips from costco, stuff like that.... so don't be too impressed :)
Poor Log :( We are praying for his health and your sleep.
Poor Logan...poor Mom. I feel your frustration, and I'm so sorry that you have to break in a new set of doctors. I am not happy about that at all, and I wish I could give them a piece of my mind. Stay strong...and keep on them! If it takes a trip to the ER for them to listen, it may be the best way to get their attention!
