Mommio: We love the hospital!

Not really...but we sure have been spending a lot of time at the hospital lately.  We are back again tonight with Max and Jack.  There's been a yucky virus running through our house over the last week, mostly a fever and some coughing.  It finally caught up with the little guys and they sounded so horrible today that I took them to see the doctor.  She said it was most likely viral croup BUT it could also be this bad, emergency thing called epiglottitis (which is a swelling of the epiglottis that closes the airway).  So she sent us for xrays of their necks and they came back as a maybe for the bad one and off we went to the Dell Children's Hospital ER in Austin.  Me and the two boys that is, Daddio was still on his way back from winning a big trial in Dallas.  It was a rough start here at the hospital- but after some steroids, more xrays, and a nebulizer treatment they are fine.  It is just croup.  And Daddio showed up from Dallas around 10:00, we were so happy to see him!  We have to wait until midnight so they can check the boys again before releasing them...and then home we go.  In the meantime, the boys are feeling better and having a great time!
