This was on Sunday....
Saturday night Pierce started running a low grade fever and his nose was running. I just thought it was teeth since he is currently getting 3 molars in right now. Well I gave him some meds before church then after church he felt really warm. I was concerned because we have given him meds already. We did a cold bath and then took him to the afterhours at Providence. They never checked his fever and did a strep test and it came back negative. So just said fluids and Tylenol and Motrin.
Well on the way home I stopped by sonic and got him a power aide slushy. And Patrick a milkshake. Got some Motrin in him and then we were all eating them on the counter when pierce fell back words. He did not get hurt but looked stunned when I picked him up. He kept staring at matt and did not blink with his mouth open. I picked him up to move him and he started to turn blue and stopped breathing. His body went limp. Matt called 911.We were freaking out! I tried to put my fingers in his throat to make sure did was not choking and his jaws were locked. We blew in his face and kept doing that while on the phone with 911. He was starting to come around but was not 100 % when EMS showed up.
Strapping my baby to a gurney in a car seat made me sick. It was horrible. The Ambulance ride was scary and they end up putting an iv in incase he had another while riding there. We got to the hospital and all beds were full. So we waited with the EMS guys in the hall. Finally a bed came open and the doc said it was likely a Febrile seizure. They gave him more meds and continue to monitor his fever it was 103.3 with meds. It had gone up after being on meds almost all day! They also did x-rays and blood work. X-rays came back cloudy in his lungs. They said that he had the start of Pneumonia. And we were floored. He had not been coughing or even acting sick! They gave him meds but also told us it could be viral and amox would not help if that was the case.
I’m pretty sure Matt and I are still more shook up than he is and was. I have never been so scared in my life. I thought we were going to put Pierce in a body bag! When you have no idea what is going on and your kid stops breathing and turns blue you feel so helpless! Kids are different. Patrick would run a 104 without any problem and Pierce had a seizure at 102.8-103.
On Tuesday Dr. Soroos put him on a new antiobotic and he is feeling much better!
On a happer note Patrick is leaving how to write his full name! Check it out!
