I really did have the scare of my life on Saturday. And you know what, it just makes you go through the scenario, "what would I do without him," quickly. I had just gotten Aaron up from his nap because he was making alot of wierd noises...and I was tickling his back on the couch. He was breathing really shallow and whining alot...and had a high temperature (103 degrees).
Then, he just stopped breathing. It was the scariest feeling. It was for a half a minute and then resumed but needless to say he say the doctor. After a chest x-ray, and doing a pulse-occ. measurement he said that we needed to take him to the hospital for a really large case of pneumonia. Well, if anyone knows how much I hate hospitals (bad memories) we negotiated and did steroid shots and 2 breathing treatments in the clinic; then let us take him home. I slept in his room and it was a long night (and has been a long week so far). Now that he has had his antibiotic for 24 hours he is no longer contagious, but the vomiting and diarrhea is getting very old. I just love our little Aaron and the thought of not always having him is terrifying. Now I am not so impatient with him and all his messes.
Now, to not have to end on a sad note, I will tell a funny story about him...while in AZ Aaron got a girlfriend. He dragged her everywhere, always went to her, I caught him staring at her, and he was just infatuated with her. Too bad she is 20 years older than him (and already married!) It was my sister-in-law Mayra. She is georgous isn't she? I don't blame him!
It was un-canny how much he took to her and it was super funny. He has never done that with anyone else like this before! It was hilarious! I hope she didn't get sick of him following her around! We referred to her as his girlfriend all week...and you know, she would be a catch for him...but, maybe he will just have to find someone like her...after his mission!

OHHH how scary!! I hope he is better really soon. Kiss his cheeks for me. (both of them)
I hope he is doing better, along with you. I can't even imagine what that must be like. I freak out if something happens to Yoshi. I do miss him tons. Along with the rest of you. Hopefully we can plan a trip to Rocky Point this year. (And no, it is not too early to start planning-after all it is the Harline Family)
What a scare! I had a similar heart-stopping moment with little baby Maran on New Year's Eve. She stopped breathing and actually started turning grey-ish. I was SO freaked out. Had a fun night at the ER with chest Xrays and a "deep suction" of mucus (which is what the problem was...overwhelming mucus). She's all right, but that was a terrifying moment!
What a scare! I'm sorry the poor little guy had to go through that ( and you). I hope that Aaron gets better soon.
How sad! That is the scariest thing when they stop breathing, that happened to my nephew when he fell off a playground and from when I picked him up and ran him to his moms he wasn't breathing that whole time!! Glad he is okay and just is sick though! Thanks for ending ona happy note too! =)
How scary! We had a time like that with Jake when he was just 6 weeks old then again at 3 years. It is no fun. You definitley let them get away with more when they have been so sick cause you feel so bad for them. I hope things are getting better and that you get a break at some time. That is so tough on mom too!
I hope he is feeling better! That is scary!
I am so sorry!! It is just the scariest thing when they are so sick. Poor little man!!! I hope he is doing better and that you get some rest too!!
Poor lil Aaron. Gosh...I'm glad you have a blog so I got the whole story...only seem to get 1/2 of it from Mom & dad...
How scary. I'm glad he is doing better. My little Sierra stops breathing all the time. Then passes out. I remember the first time she did that before I new what the problem was. I was so freaked out. You have the dang cutest kids! That picture of Aaron is darling. He has beautiful eyes.
that is so adorable, what a cute story. I hope he is feeling better, how scary!
