Another ER Trip ! !

Our trip has been really relaxing. Haven't had a trip this relaxing since ???
Kids are getting older, partly why.
Familiar with where we are staying, another reason.
Just comfortable in the season we are in, I think most of all.
So our early morning trip to the ER wasn't so traumatic and just kind of flowed as naturally as breathing. Which is why we were in the ER.
Not sure why but D was in a bad flare and wheezing.
Not sure why his allergies flared in such a bad way.
The hospital stuff was Super Duper Sweet and Kind to us.
We were in and out in under two hours. Record timing since they had to assess him, examine him, he got xrays, a breathing treatment and medicine.
Now he is on Ora-Ped and he is one busy guy. They also told us to give him Benadryl as needed.
We decided the steroids in the morning and the Benadryl inthe evening to help bring him down !
But there is no coughing anymore.
The hotel was super-duper. Customer service like I have never seen.
I went to the front desk to ask where the closest medical facility was....
While we were gone, they left a "sick" cub stuffed wolf at the door for D.
Plus we got a check up on him phone call.
A card came with stuffed animal.
When we returned to the hotel they let him and I stay in a different room to see if he would sleep better. Not knowing if it was sleeping so close the pool that was bothering him.
The second room was at no cost! !
The staff have recognized him all weekend and doted on him just cause he's "cute". This just upped the ante a bit and he has ate it up. Our first day here, one particular person went way above and beyond to accomadate his food allergies. Told me, "gotta keep him happy". "If he is happy, then making mom happy is easy."
So we are a bit spoiled.
I am very relaxed and in no hurry to go home, which if you know me well enough I don't like to be away from home too long.

Sorry to hear about D's breathing issues but glad to hear that you are otherwise enjoying your trip. Sounds like a very nice place to stay.
