Family visits and ER visits

This last weekend my In-laws came to visit with Jacob and Andrew. Levi was so excited to see Papa. We had a great visit and the boys were spoiled as usual. We took the boys to Jump Mania on Friday and they had a blast. Luke learned how to climb the ladder to get to the big slide. We had so much fun. Andrew and Jacob raced through the obstacle course and Andrew proved to be very fast. We spent a Saturday at Silver Dollar City and Levi does not like the rides very much. He is a big fan of the tea cups and Elephants but that's all. Then Sunday we were in Kansas City and had to say Goodbye. It was a short visit but we had a great time and will miss them.

Our weekend ended great and we were ready to start our normal week and get back into our normal routines. Levi woke up very early on Monday morning with a horrible cough and was having trouble breathing. I immediately knew that he had Croup and when the cold air did not help him Ryan took him to the ER. He had to have 2 breathing treatments and some medicine. The first breathing treatment did not have the long lasting effect that it needed to so they gave him another dose which meant we sat for another 3 hours. There was talk of admitting him but luckily breathing treatment #2 did the trick and 3 hours later we were able to go home. All is well now. Just a little cough and runny nose.
