Back in the hospital

Reiko is in Children's hospital again, he has pneumonia, it came on very quickly this time, at 6pm he was fine other than the sniffles he has had for a few days,by 7pm he was struggling to breathe, so I brought him to our local hospital, they were absolutely amazing, I walked in the door and told them what was going on and they brought me right back with him, within minutes he was seen, then was brought to xray for his chest, and for once we were able to put him in the thing that lets him sit up and get the xray done, before it would have broken his arms, anyways, they gave him a ventolin treatment afterwards and then said we should head down to the children's hospital, so we have been here since 1030 and I haven't slept yet, because we are being admitted, but there are no beds so we are in emerg and there is alittle boy freaking out in the next bed to us, oh and Reiko is wide awake because of said boy, by the way it is 3:30am! The doctor here said that he has a significant pneumonia in his right lobe and we will be here at least a few days, so thankfully I was smart and packed my bag before we went to our local hospital, brought my pillow, school books and laptop. So we are hoping that they will have a room for us early in the morning, cause I may just got alittle bonkers with no sleep and being around crying children all the time. Plus it will just get Reiko even sicker, he is immunocompromised to begin with because of his rib deformeties...I hate hospitals.

Tonight was a rough night with Kai after school, well it has been every night after school lately, he is overtired, so everything he does consists of breakdowns, but when it finally comes to bedtime he is so overtired that fights it for about an hour, when just a few hours earlier he would do anything to pass out. We had his school's annual potluck dinner at 6 this evening, we brought meatballs, the only problem was the kids loaded their plates so high that there was hardly any food left for everybody else, it was fun, but that is when Reiko's breathing hit, he just was sitting in his bumbo chair happy one minute then just struggling to breathe the next, so we brought him home where he proceeded to puke on me. Kai was really good though with Reiko and I having to go to the hospital, he was making Reiko laugh while we waited for my mom to come pick him up so Derek could drive me down to the hospital here, it was dark and raining, not a good thing for me to drive in, I hope he went straight to bed for them and is a good boy. I already miss him.

Ok, I am going to .... I have no idea, sit here and listen to the people behind me,...... its not like I want to listen to them, its right in my ear, we have a curtain between me and his screaming.......ok...night...
