RYLAN @ THE HOSPITAL

Yesterday Rylan started getting a really bad cough and he seemed to choke a few times while coughing. It sounded really phlemmy too. We noticed Rylan's hands, arms and feet going blue from like 2pm - 5pm ish. We got worried and everyone said to go to the hospital so Robyn took us up to St. Joeseph's Emerg. around 5:30ish. He seemed to be fine while we were registering, the blue had gone away and he coughed a few times but he was playful and happy. (he slept pretty much the whole time while waiting which was good) At around 7pm when we were first taken to our room in the pediatrics ward, Rylan woke up and started to get really upset. He was boiling hot and started screaming and shaking. He was just clutching me and wouldn't let go he was so weak he barely moved. They took his temerature an it was 103.3. No wonder he was so hot & upset. For hours, he just lay in my arms cluching me sometimes sleeping others just staring at me wimpering. They took him for cheast x rays and took a nose swab, took some urine to test, and did some blood work as well. He was pretty bad for the first few hours. Later on in the night he seemed to get better, we cooled him down with a clool cloth and kept him naked in a light blanket. Semmed to do the trick cuz his temerature went down & he was smiling again & moving around. They said there's no bacteria in his blood and his cheast looks fine and it's a viral thing. The blue was probably from the fever. We ended up leaving the hospital at 12:30ish. Couldn't believe we were there so long. He's ok today, no fever and just his cough. He isn't quite as playful, but he's smiling. Here he is SICK!

Here he is FEELING BETTER!
