Up All Night

Wow! Last night was quite a night. I heard Greyson on the monitor around 12:30 a.m. gasping for air. Mike and I ran upstairs and he was still having a hard time breathing. It was really scary, so Mike and I decided we needed to call 911. A couple of minutes later we had an ambulance and a fire truck at our house (that's definitely a first and hopefully a last for us)! By the time they arrived, he had improved, but the response team suggested we take him to the ER to be evaluated. Well, after about 4 hours at Dell Children's Hospital, they concluded that it was the croup. Very weird since he hadn't had a fever, and had coughed only a couple of times. They gave him a dose of steroids and sent us on our way. He is doing fine, just a little cranky from lack of sleep last evening. I'm still not convinced 100% that it's the croup, but we will probably know more after this evening. Please keep him in your prayers!
