I didn't blog this day as I slept all day from lack of sleep but here's what happened.

Colton has had 102.9 degree fever since Sunday night. Every night / morning at 2am he calls me (from his brothers cell phone instead of yelling for me and waking up the whole house- how thought full huh ?) in tears to tell he tells me he's gonna puke. We meet up in the bathroom for about a 20 minute visit for nothing. Then we settle him in on the couch with a puke pan and toilet paper for the bloody nose. Well then we sleep in till bout 9am and he is spiking another fever. He takes his Tylenol and sleeps all day threw all the fever spikes and all activity around the house. We had decided to keep him on the couch closer to me tonight. Nate and I had decided to stay up late and catch up on some shows we had DVR'ed. 11:30 we mosey to bed . 12:30 I wake up to hearing Colton's feet pitter pattering around the basement floor and then running to the bathroom. He yells "Mom bloody nose" I tell him I'm coming I get the the door to the bathroom and he is kinda wobbly I grab his arm and he looks at me and says I can't really see I lean him over the sink a little so he can start to wash the blood off his hand and he looks at me and all I saw was pupils no paper brown bag colored eyes just black solid eyes staring at me creepily. I yelled "Nate he's passin out " at this point Colton dropped like a rock but I smoothed out the landing. I'm tryin' to be calm and talk to Colton tell him I'm right there try to focus on me, and listen to my voice. Then I realize Nate's still sleepin' I yell " HELLO PEOPLE COLTON PASSED OUT NATE COLTON PASSED OUT" Nate then gets up running and slips but catches him self and I'm chuckling at him and lookin at Colton no response from Colton . What's freaky he keeps his eyes open.I then start to panic "call 911" then I grab nate cell and get them coming. Colton is slowly startin to move and come around. This is the longest 1 & a 1/2 minutes. Colton slowly starts talkin and whining I don't want to go to the hospital. When he realizes I'm on phone with 911. WE cover him up and Pick him up and then put him on the floor in the entryway so the fir dept and EMT's don't have to deal with the dogs. He starts really shaking and whining he don't wan to go. " They always needle me " he cries. I then tell him well maybe Joe Gray will come and get you in the ambulance, if he is on duty. He then said " Ok well maybe then I'll go." They finally arrive and no Joe. the look of disappointment. Oh it was sad. The lip kinda quivered as he asked is this all the guys on the truck and one guy looked at me and said "Yeah why is he askin that?" I told him he knows Joe Gray. The lady Fire fighter told him she knows Joe. He seemed ok with that. The EMT's WOW there's a whole nother story . I thought we were gonna die on our way to the hospital. The DRIVER was too busy using the computer talkin to another ambulance and driving. We drove on the shoulder and in 2 lanes most of the way there.

So here's my picts for the day

Nate finally showed up but the sitting and waiting

just kills his knees and back.

Well they re hydrated Colton, took blood, did a U.A., then gave him something for his nausea and fever. They left the decision up to Colton of either finish up the fluids or come home and drink when I tell him too. So he just wanted to go home and we did. Nate didn't want him on the couch so he slept with us. So needless to say Colton and I didn't get much sleep as we had to fight Nate all night. Nate is a bed and blanket hog! WE had to leave the house at 9am at the latest for Bai's Dr. appt. AUGHHHHHH!
