trip to the emergency room

Charlie and I made our first trip to the emergency room for a borderline emergency. He was breathing heavily yesterday afternoon and then really heavily yesterday evening. I didn't feel comfortable putting him to bed like that so we decided to take him in (after a consult with my neighbor who is not a doctor but has been to the ER a bunch and has kids with breathing issues). We were there for about an hour and he was REALLY good considering he had not taken a nap and it was 9:00 at night. The doctor decided he had Croupe and gave him a steriod shot (heather asked if charlie was brave for his shot) and then sent us on our way. He's feeling pretty good but is kind of lethargic. Unfortunately I'm going to keep him home tomorrow which would be a bummer but probably better for the other kids in his class.

Otherwise we're getting ready to head home next weekend for Thanksgiving. most of our time will be in Cleveland but we will sneak in a few days in Athens. We'll be weding dress shopping for Kelly and maybe bridesmaid as well. Should be a good time and the kids are looking forward to going to their grandma's houses.
