Ambulance rides are fun!

So, Cara, how did you spend your weekend?

Well, dear reader, let me tell you.


Sunday morning started at 6:30am with Grant having severe breathing difficulties. After a trip later that day to the after-hours care and a diagnosis of Croup, we were ushered quickly to the local ER. After oral medication and three breathing treatments, we were admitted to the hospital. But not the nearest hospital, mind you -- they had no more beds left. No, instead we were transported by ambulance to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, about an hour north. After finally getting a room at 11pm, Grant and I settled in for the evening. He was released today with a mostly clean bill of health, much improved breathing and just a few minor symptoms lingering from Croup. Grant and I arrived home (after Jason drove us all home in a torrential downpour -- have you heard about this?) around 4pm today. Grant went to bed at 5:30 and why I'm still awake, I have no idea! A photo essay from our adventure:

In the ER, receiving treatments. Grant just LOVED the breathing treatments.

And he got so tired, poor thing. Thank goodness for his thumb -- it has never been more helpful than it was the last two days!
