The beat of a heart

So as most of you already know...this week can only be described in one word and I do mean one word and every letter of it....pure H    E   L   L.  sorry for the bluntness but its true.  most of the time when you child gets sick you expect a cold maybe ear infections, you don't go from having a icky feeling kid to a super icky feeling one to a limp noodle of a baby that can't even lift his head and can't breath all within 24 hours.  you also don't expect to go tot he doctors office and emerge 3 days later from a hosptial with said child in your arms.  BUT guess what, all that happened this week.....WHILE josh was gone, and i had never had a child hospitalized like this...yes we all know Noah was the king of ear infections and simple surgerys with 2 hemangioma removals and tube/adenoids/tonsil surgery and for petes sake for the first 18 months of his life i think he was sick more than he was well, however Christian decided to up the ante on me.  i thought wow we made it to 8.5 months before we got sick thats great!  probably an ear infection....yeah well i was right but add on double pneumonia and severe dehydration and hypoxia ( lack of oxygen cause the poor kid couldn't breath!) that is for my non medical frieds lol believe it or not i do have several lol.   so thanks to my parents who stayed with me stayed with noah, got little to no sleep with me ( momma) and got run to the ground with a huge smile on his face (poppa) keeping up with a very active lil boy, and for all their comfort....this week is finally over...THANK YOU JESUS for keeping us out of REALLY dark water and out of a worse situation than it was.... so i won't rehash all of the ugly details other than there were lots of cords monitoring him, oxygen fluids, antibiotics and severe lack of sleep for two adults cause the poor kid kept getting woken up and couldn't move with all that stuff he needed on to watch him and though MUSC childrens were AWESOME and i owe them all a HUGE thank you and good job, they need better furniture in their rooms lol.  but the staff and everyone was so great.  they helped out my sweet lil man and loved on him and us and i don't think i have a bad word to say about the staff of 7A.  so that being said, anyone who reads this who has kids no matter how annoying they are today or how many tantrums they throw today or  whatever they do just let it go for one day, give them a hug and a kiss and be THANKFUL you child is healthy.  all this brings into new persepective in my life for those parents who's children have life threatening illnesses and deal with them every day.  also those who come down with sudden illnesses its a truely scary place to be, no one wants to hear how sick your baby is,  and when that doctor said had you waited even 12 hours more or maybe even 6 hours we might have had  amuch more serious fight on our hands and very unsure of his outcome.....I felt frozen and went into survival mode...its the only way i could make it through but I am here to say God brought me through that because i could never have done it without him and my momma and daddy.  here are some pics to show you what happened....so glad he's better!
