Croup bronchitis

Wednesday night Jackson woke up crying and unable to take in a deep breath. Right away I knew that he had croup, but this was the worse that I had ever seen him breathing and was actually debating if I needed to call 911. We gave him his nebulizer right away which helped enough that I knew I could drive him to the ER. He got another breathing treatment once we reached the ER and started to sound a lot better. By 2:30 AM the ER doctor told us that we could probably go home. However 30 minutes later Jackson started to have strior again and the ER doctor walked by and heard him. He just peeked him head into our room and said "I am admitting you." We got to our room at 3:30 and went through the whole admitting process. Finally Jackson and I got to turn off our light and get some sleep at 5:00. Jackson was also awake almost the entire night. He never can sleep well when a light is turned on. At 6:00 the nurse woke us up again because she got orders from the doctor and they drew labs and started an IV on Jackson. They also set up a cool mist tent for Jackson to sleep in. Needless to say Jackson and I then tried to sleep the rest of the morning and Jackson actually slept off and on for most of the day. By Thursday evening Jackson no longer sounded croupy, but instead he had a harsh cough and was little wheezy. The doctor said that Jackson had croup bronchitis. We ended up staying in the hospital unitl Friday evening. Jackson is now doing much better. He is on an antibiotic, steroid and gets a nebulizer treatment twice a day. Annika was excited that she got to have a sleepover with Grandma while we were in the hospital and now she wants me to sleep with her at night because Grandma does. Keep praying that Jackson will remain healthy and that we will be able to stay out of the hospital.
