Coopers ER trip


Cooper had been coughing and coughing sometimes it was so hard that he would throw up. we gave him some over the counter meds and for a few days we thought we were getting back on track.
We went to work and I called home and checked in every couple of hours. All was well. At about 12:30 in the morning I am locking the building up and usually call to say I am leaving in 15-20 min. My dad said that Cooper curled up on the couch with a blanket and said he was cold, again I thought nothing of it cause this weather is so crazy hot then cold sunny then snowy so all was well. I get to my dads at about 1:00 in the morning and pick Cooper up and he is BURNING up. I took him straight to the ER they did x-rays of his chest and lungs and heard some fluid building up, The respiratory therapist came in and did a breathing treatment, 4 hours later and a very sleep Clark family we headed home. Cooper had bronchitis ( Spelling?) they gave him some meds and he seems to be feeling better. The fever went away almost immediately but his cough is still there. but day by day it is getting less and less. Thank you all for your prayers.

I'm so glad he is doing better. Kids and illnesses are just scary! Even with me being a nurse I do NOT handle well with my kids being sick. Fingers crossed...we've avoided the ER thus far. He is getting so big and is too cute!
