Crunch Week

This week has to be one of the busiest weeks we've had thus far in 2009. Not only are we getting ready for a wedding on Friday for Rebeca and Dante, members of the church, but we also have VBS next week, and school and Bible institute to get ready for, plus we have Kaitlin and Bethany's birthdays. I told Kaitlin that the only thing that could have made this week crazier was if this was her 15th birthday and we had a quinceaƱera (sp) for her.

Well it turned out that we had to take a trip to the ER early this morning with the baby. He started getting sick a couple days ago but it turned for the worst last night. He was struggling to breathe and about 1am I thought he was needing to see a doctor. A few minutes later I watched him breathing and saw he was retracting. So I woke Scott up and we headed the the hospital.

Thankfully our favorite pediatrician was there and he saw Silas right away. After listening to his lungs he ordered a chest x'ray. And began to fill out the admission forms. I thought this really is not a good week for this.

During the x'ray I stood in there with him while the film was taken. Without a lead apron! Ugh! I think OSHA would have an absolute fit especially since the vet tech in me screams everytime they do this. So far I've been exposed to the same rads as my kids 6 times.

Anyway...the pneumonia the doctor thought was there, wasn't! Thank the LORD! He got a diagnosis of Bronchiolitis and was sent home on Pred and Ventolin inhaler. He's up and around today even though he had a rough night.

Please pray with us that he will be all well before Friday, and that no one else will get this. Scott is marrying the couple, I am the one making sure all goes off as planned (mistress of ceremonies says a friend of mine), Brandon is escorting the bride's sister, Kaitlin is playing the piano for two specials, Bethany is page turning the music for Kaitlin, Nehemiah is the Bible bearer, and Simeon is the Ring bearer. Talk about a family affair! As you can see more sickness is not very welcome.
