That Feeling!

Monday night Colton got up around 12:30am, which is very unusal but I got up and fixed him a big bottle and put him back to bed.  He went right back to sleep and as I was coming out of his room, I could hear Hayden gasping for air and barking.  The barking cough is horrible, she seems to always get the croup cough.  It just came on so fast, she complained a little  before bed about her throat hurting and had a little cough but nothing like it was at 12:30.  I took her into my room and got her some water but she was still gasping for air and she was getting scared and of course I was trying not to panic.  That is the worst feeling in the world when there is something wrong with one of my babies.   Mark got up too, and we put her in the shower, usually the steam clears her right up but she still was gasping and just couldn't breathe!  I learned a couple of years ago to never second guess my motherly instincts so I called Aunt Kim and she said that we needed to bring her to the ER for a breathing treatment.  Since we had Gracie and Colton sleeping, Mark loaded her up and met Kim at the Hospital.  I stayed home and it almost drove me crazy not being there with her, but I knew she was in good hands.  She received a breathing treatment and got some medicine and they let her come back home.  I met her on the porch and carried her in like a little baby and put her right in my bed!!!  Thanks to Aunt Kim for always taking such good care of us, we love you and appreciate it so much!  Oh and Aunt Kim said that Hayden is the perfect little patient, she wasn't scared and was so sweet to all the doctors and nurses.
