Tuesday night Parker was sick. He had been sick since Sunday, but there was a virus going around and did not think much else... Well Tuesday it got worse and we were directed from the nurse to take him to urgent care because he was getting dehydrated. So off we went. Kuddos go out to my MOM for watching Ryland and getting us much needed food!!! We arrived at Phoenix Children's Hospital Urgent Care( highly recommended) and they decided to give him an IV of fluids. He did 2 rounds of fluid, which took 1 1/2 hours. I felt so bad when they put the IV in him. Although I think that he was more mad because the nurse and i were holding him down, rather then being mad about a needle poking him. I asked a some what silly question..." Isn't he just going to pull that off?" the nurse replied with.. " No we tape it pretty good!" she was not kidding. We walked into the treatment room and there was about 50 pieces of tape cut and ready to be used!!! Anywayz.. we are getting are release papers and the nurse hears Parker cough.. She asked if he has croup!! Uhhh, no.. The doctor had asked us if he had a seal like barking cough and our reply was NO.. she proceeded to go get the doctor again,, sure enough he has croup cough as well. so back again with more waiting and more medicine and again more release papers. All in all we left after about 3 hours and my boy is still sick... He is eating and drinking, but still has the runny nose, flemmy cough and vomiting! YUCK!!
