Connor and the hospital

Last Sunday night,not yesterday, Cyrus took Connor to the hospital in the middle of the night. His breathing was fast and laboured. Cyrus had me stay home and try to get some sleep. I did not sleep much that night. Most of the night I prayed for my son. Connor had a lower respiratory infection. They had him on oxygen and inhalers all night, as well as monitoring his oxygen level which was really low. I went to the hospital first thing the next morning and Connor was doing much better. Cyrus took Monday off and we stayed with him all day. Cy went home in the afternoon and slept while I stayed at the hospital. He came back at supper and I went home and Cy slept at the hospital. They released Connor tuesday afternoon. He had to be on inhalers for three more days. It was a scary and stressful time but he is pretty much back to normal now. He was back at school today Monday Nov 13th. He still has a bit of a cough but the doctor said that could last a couple of weeks. Over 30 kids ended up in the childrens hospital with the same virus as Connor. The nurses and doctor's were amazing with Connor. Last night the first Doctor that saw Connor phoned to see how he was doing. He had seen Connor at the regular hospital before being sent to the childrens hospital. He never heard how he was so he called us to check in. I was very emotional at his concern and care for a child he had only seen once. He was our angel on earth. Not many doctors would do that, especially an emergency room doctor. God really watched over us and has blessed us with amazing medical care over here. Please continue to pray for Connor's full recovery.
