Hi Friends,
Before bed on Saturday we noticed Sam seemed to have some labored breathing. We wanted to keep an eye/ear on him so we moved his crib into our room. At 1:30 am Nick and I woke up to hear Sam gasping for breath and it seemed like he couldn’t catch his breath.
Nick rushed him to the ER (while I stayed home with the other kids) where he was admitted and given oxygen. Thank God for the ER and all its staff who work around the clock. It helped tremendously.
The next morning my mother-in-law came over and I went to the hospital to be with Sam. It was like night and day, he was better and back to his smiley self. I’m so thankful and grateful that Sam is ok.
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what caused it they said. Their best guess is a virus that made its way into his lungs and Bronchiolitis. It might take a few weeks for everything to clear, but he is night and day better than he was this weekend.

This past weekend we took the kids to the WI State Fair! It was HOT and crowded but very fun. Nick was the most adventurous of us and tried a dill pickle donut (they made the donut not sweet so it was like a bagel and cream cheese lol).
