Long Long Weekend

We had a really long Memorial Day Weekend - spent almost entirely at the hospital! Aidan woke up Saturday morning complaining of a belly ache, but it seemed like much more than that, so I took him to the doctor. She noticed right away that it must be his diaphragm that hurt, because he was working so hard to breathe and wasn't getting enough oxygen. After the first treatment didn't bring his levels up enough, they took us to the ER by ambulance. We had more drugs and more tests, and ended up getting transferred to the PICU! After a long night in intensive care, the meds seemed to kick in and he was doing much better by Sunday morning. They weaned him off the high flow oxygen and IV by the afternoon, and he was getting back to himself. This morning (Monday), he was able to come home. The ultimate conclusion was that he just had a major allergic reaction to all the pollen and super humid day, so that'll be easy to treat with some daily medication.



After being stuck in a bed for ages, and then confined to a room, he was ready to come out and play! After a not-so-successful trip to the Boylston Common to see the bouncy castle (too many big kids) we took him to the park to ride and play.













Thanks for all the well wishes and the help with Sierra!
