July 26th, 2011

What a day!
The day started off with Camden having more energy than I've ever seen. He was everywhere! And running (and tripping a few times) as fast as he could. He pointed to each of our butts this morning and said butt. We couldn't be more proud. He rolled from one end of the bedroom to the other. I think he definitely got a good night sleep the night before.
The other day Miss Veronica informed me that Camden likes to take off his shoes and chew on them. Didn't surprise me. I can hear him pulling his shoes off in the back seat while I'm driving him. When I go to get him out of the car he's usually shoeless. Turns out he likes other kids shoes as well. Miss Veronica couldn't find Josiah's shoes. She jokingly asked the entire class of 1 and 2 year olds to stop what they were doing and look for Josiah's shoes. She went about her business and around came Camden with Josiah's shoe and handed it to Miss Veronica. She cracked up and couldn't wait to tell me.
Today school called me to tell me that they weren't too concerned, but Camden looked a little blue around his mouth and fingertips. I immediately went hysterical. The teachers honestly just thought he was a little cold or had some bad circulation. I freaked out and called the pediatrician right away who proceeded to tell me to take Camden to the ER. I called school about 5 minutes later to check on Camden and they said all his color was back to normal and he was running around playing.
I rushed and got him and Grammy (thank God) came with me to the ER. It was a pretty good experience there. From start to finish we were only there about 2 hours. They checked all his vitals and his oxygen level was 100%. Can't get better than that. They then decided to do a chest X-Ray to see if there was anything abnormal with his heart. The X-Rays came back completely normal. So they did some blood work. All the tests came back normal, there are just a few more tests that will take 48 hours to get the results on. They sent Camden home saying he as perfectly healthy thank God. I hate putting him through this, but there was no way I was going to not take him to the ER today. What mother in the world wouldn't? Now I have a little more peace of mind, and maybe he was just a little chilly and thankfully the teachers at the school are keeping a close eye on our baby boys.
They are both sound asleep right now and hopefully mom can get some sleep tonight too. We head out on our road trip on Thursday. Driving across country with two kids under the age of two. Stay tuned for what I'm sure will be very entertaining stories to come!

  1. I think one of the best part of hanging out in the ER was that Camden got to have chocolate milk...running in a close second was his fascination with the story book "Where Is Wartz" that Momma read to him with the talking characters and especially the metamorphosis!!!
