First Trip to the ER
We had to take a break from holiday celebrations on Thursday night to take Luke to the doctor. He'd had a cough and needed some inhalers a few weeks ago, but had been off of them for about a week. He kept having coughing fits and the inhaler wasn't helping so we drove him to the urgent care clinic. The doctor there recommended either some elaborate set of inhalants with a machine at home or taking him to the er since his wheezing had gotten audibly worse while we were there (that might have been due to him crying that he didn't want to be there). So we opted to go ahead and visit the hospital to be on the safe side and to get meds into him sooner. Once we finally calmed him down, he did great at the hospital! I think he was the highlight of the evening for his doctors and nurses. He kept asking them questions, looking at their id badges, and talking up a storm. You could tell he was definitely feeling better after that first treatment. He also enjoyed walking through the hallway attached to a cord that I was holding and calling it his leash. He thought it was really cool to get a picture of his lungs (which were fine). Several hours later we finally made it back to grandma and grandpa Miller's house for some sleep. I'll try to post his lung pictures once I scan them in.
