Poor little Aiden has been having a tough time breathing. He was having an especially difficult time last night so I took him to urgent care. They had to shove tubes down his nose and throat, they gave him a shot, oral medication, 2 doses of an inhaler, a breathing treatment, and then they did a chest x ray. My little guy was crying through all of this torture and there was nothing that I could do. I tried to comfort him as he was strapped down to this contraption and the nurse tried to tell me in a polite way not to talk to him. "You know, sometimes it makes it worse for the baby if they hear their mom. They don't understand why their mom isn't picking them up"-nurse. I had to stand there and watch as  my baby cried for me. 

After all of that torture, they said that he had inflammation in his lungs and a double ear infection. They sent me home with an inhaler and told me to bring him back in the morning for another steroid shot.

The doctor said that Aiden is the happiest baby that he's ever seen. He was all smiles until they strapped him down! I am glad that he is so happy when he is sick, but I still feel horrible for him!

Oh my gosh that is the saddest pictures I've ever seen. I'm sorry you had to do that but mothers have to do hard things sometimes. Hope your little guy feels better soon.

Take better care of my Squawkee or I'll reposess him! Oh, my poor little buddy.

Funny Lacey... How can you repo him when you never owned him to begin with? Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy to share him!

Thanks Jamie! He's doing a lot better now!
