Halloween did not go quite as we expected this year, but we still each got some candy, so overall were good! We did our church funnival on Saturday night and it was a lot of fun..we had the BUSIEST day around our house that afternoon, so it was nice to get there and plant my booty in my trunk:) We left a little early cause Easton did not act like he was feeling great..we got home and found him with a temp of 102.4...nice:( The next morning it was 104 and there was green snot EVERYWHERE!
We went to our Dr at 10 and after 2 hrs they sent us next door to Cooks Urgent care and we were there for 5 hours. At 10 pm, Easton was worse not better so per their recommendations we headed to Cooks ER and got home at 2am...Happy Freakin Halloween:) We know that it is not RSV, Flu, Pneumonia or Urinary tract infection..but his blood work says there is some infection...somewhere. At the first Dr his ear was slightly pink, but not worthy of treating..at the second Dr it was a little red, but not bad..at the last it was pretty infected in both and worthy of treating.
Who knows if that was all.. but, after 6 sticks, one cath and 2 nasal washings..you better have a really good reason to come at my baby with something else. The poor 2am nurse finally got the best of me and was told that she was done touching my baby and to kindly back away from him. I get it..I am a nurse..but enough was enough. I warned Bradley as we headed to the ER that I was about "this close to going all Danny Bramlett on someone"..and that poor nurse was one of many who made me feel dumb...
I never pulled the nurse card, because I know its annoying, but really....she taught me the "right way" to use the bulb suction on my baby's nose?? As a NICU nurse, I think I am pretty screwed if I didn't have that already figured out. Bradley attempted to give her the benefit of the doubt.."she doesn't know your a nurse". I get that, but when asked why I thought his breathing was labored I told them that he had started pulling and retracting..she had me explain?? So, I elaborated that he had subcostal, intercostal and substernal retractions...she knew I was not "just" a mom..so, yes, I was thoroughly offend by her" step by step, bulb syringe how to"..okay, I feel better now!!
Easton is better and that is all that matters!! Now, onto Halloween pics of the sweetest Lion and T-Rex!!:)

| Our fierce Lion |
I was the Zoo Keeper and my trunk was his cage/living area??
We went to the zoo this week so I attempted to decorate my trunk like the Lions living quarters..it was close enough!
This was the only one I got of the boys together:(
Presley showed up in her Elephant costume so we tossed her into the trunk for a while since she fit our theme!!
This was right before we left and we were thinking he wasn't feeling good..I just assumed the Lion outfit had beat him down..poor baby:(
I have no idea was this was about..but it made me laugh!
The head was scratching his face..so he was headless most of the night.
Our one family photo of the night..stellar, right!
This was at Dr #2 the next day..he looks so sad:(
This was Sunday morning with a fever of 104..think that smile had something to do with people thinking he was fine?! The smile dwindled through the day...
