a frightful event

well Sat morning my 5 yr old woke up around 3:30 am coughing and crying and he sounded like he couldnt breath very well, so we took him to the ER and found out he had croup which it is pretty common but not at his age and not at this time of year, he had a very bad case of stridor, the ER doc said it was the worse he had seen, he wasnt getting much oxygen so they had the room next to us set up in case he would happen to stop breathing, they tried to get life flight in the air but it was too foggy so we had to wait for the ambulance to get there 2 hours later it got there and we were off to the childrens hospital stayed there over night and they gave him meds and now he is fine but it was so scarry we almost lost him the ER doc said if we would have waited 5 mins we would have lost him, his throat was so swollen. I have ill feelings towards my mom and dad and my in laws bc no one came up to see him I know he turned the corner but still they should have been there, it may be petty on my side but they havent even called to see how he is doing, last night was the 1st night I slept in 36 hours and I slept so light I felt him move ( had him sleep in my bed last night). it was just too close of a call I am afraid to sleep in case it happens again but last night I think I just crashed.

OMG! I am so sorry to hear this, Mary.
