So, last night my phone did ring. At 1:30 AM. It was XF. My greatest fear came to life, my son was in need of the emergency room. Having trouble breathing and uncontrollably coughing. We have been down this road before, as a family. But this time I was 2 states away, in a hotel room. S4 has athesma and a simple cold progresses into more very quickly.
I obviously answered the phone. XF was in a panic. She didn't know what to do or where to go. After realizing what was going on (I was in a dead sleep when the phone rang) I calmly said to her, if it is bad enough that you are calling me at this time, get him in the car and go! She kept me posted throughout the night and everything happened just as it had before. Same medicines, same procedures. Pretty standard stuff but it is very scary to see. Even more scary to not be there!
Anyways, all is well with S4 now. He was out of the hospital by 9AM. I'm now home and got to see my little buddy.
This situation is why when my phone rings, I have a hard time not answering...
