It's all my fault. They get it from me. And unfortunately there is absolutely nothing I can do to change it. Late Saturday night, before Easter morn, Cody woke up having trouble breathing. I did the hot steamy bathroom and tucked him back in. By 1am, it was a full blown asthma attack. I set up the breathing treatment in my room and things seemed a little better. Two hours later, I realized things were not better. I tried the inhaler and the steam room and he was able to sleep again. By 4:30 and after the second breathing treatment I running through the scenarios in my mind of who I could call so I could take him to the ER, or would he make it til 8 when Russ got home? He fell back asleep in my bed and I lay there with my hand on his chest for the next hour and a half making sure he was still breathing.
At 6:30 the boys woke up excited about the Easter Bunny. I convinced them to snuggle in my bed for a little bit longer and then we read some books (we were hoping to wait til Russ got home to go down and check out our goodies). But despite the fact that Cody was still sucking air through a mini coffee straw, they were excited, there was no more containing them.

By the time Daddy got home, we had discovered the baskets and collected lots of eggs. And despite not feeling well - at all - Cody was excited and happy. Poor little guy, he just kept laying down by his basket "to rest". And he didn't put up a fight when Daddy took him off to the doctor.
Corbin, Colton and I had our CinnaBunnies cereal for breakfast and enjoyed the Yoohoos from the Easter Bunny, but we sure did miss our Cody-bug. :(
Luckily, Daddy convinced the ER doc that Cody did not need to be admitted and that we would keep a close eye on him, and they made it home in time to go have some Easter fun with the cousins at Grandma's house.
The little kids found lots of eggs and presents to fill up their baskets, while the big kids had to work a little harder for theirs.
Grandma made a scavenger hunt with clues that led all over the house including the garage and "the room that smells like a fart". Corbin LOVED it. He loves a challenge and the fact that they got an egg in each room was a plus.
So despite the stressful, sleepless night, it turned out to be a good day. Time with family is always time well spent. And I love my precious little boys. I am so lucky to have them.

How very scary! I am glad Cody got to breathing better! Looks like Easter was fun. I caught up on your blog and loved that you did the natural egg dying together. In Russia it is tradition to dye the eggs with onions. My VT gave me one and unfortunately it broke in my bag on the way home. Luckily it was hard boiled. The dinosaur b/d party was clever! Oh, those were the days...
