horrid 1st day back @ school

Monday was the 1st day back as school since the holidays I thought it be a nice lazy Monday something I shouldn't have thought. The morning went pretty smooth no fighting the boys got dressed and were out the door. Both went to school happy Cameron ran to class. So they are off at school we are relaxing. then about 10 am the school calls and says Cameron has some kind of rash i went out checked on him seemed okay it seemed like a allergic reaction to something, but he did seem a bit off not very playful kinda what I thought was a cold shoulder I asked if he was okay he said yes but i thought he wasn't playful cause he was at school and he knew he couldn't goof off so I went and ran an errand and went back home and was making a few phone calls when the school said I had to come and get him he was looking good and was white as a ghost said he was cold ect. So i went and got him he said he didn't feel good and he was tired and cold when I touched his hands he was cold as ice his skin had that spider look that newborns get when they are cold. on the ride home i was trying to talk to him but he was falling asleep as I was talking and when I say his name he jumped up and say what huh ? he has patches of this rash on his belly, and arms. he teacher had suggest I have his doctor look at him. So I called them and got a 2pm appointment they said I be out in time to get Alex from school but once the doctor saw Cameron she said he didn't look like himself she did a finger prick to see if the was anemic which he wasn't so she said she wasn't sure what was wrong with him but she was concerned about an infection spreading fast so she took some blood and told us we would be heading to children's hospital. Darin was in the waiting room with Zack and Bella so I told him to call my dad to get Alex from school and I was thinking we would drop the babies off at my grandma since she lived around the corner (basically) then head to the hospital. Then the doctor said that she didn't want us waiting for hours in an ER so she was calling the EMT to bring us to the hospital she tried to tell me as calmly as she could she not trying to freak us out but she needed to cover all basics and it may be nothing and if that is the case great ! so i went back out and told Darin to take Bella and Zack to Grandma's and meet me and Cameron at the hospital. Cameron was soo scared the EMT guys had to help me get him in the truck they checked his oxygen levels and all checked out he was still dosing in and out. we got to the hospital and went straight to an ER room had what seemed like a whole staff in there asking me all kinds of questions they drew more blood gave him some benaryl and told us there still not sure if this is a allergy or an infection but they want to watch him over night to be sure so here I am thinking i had a lazy Monday at home to being in the hospital they gave him something to eat and we got lucky enough to get a room cause they were packed. . . . . got him in his room my dad called and said he keep Alex and get him to school and he also went and got Bella. the night went fine he was looking somewhat better but still very sleepy. they started an IV on him which keep him up all night peeing Darin and I were tired by morning but they came in the morning and said it was properly an reaction to something no clue what and its hard to say cause we come in contact with so many things we are unaware we are even in contact with and said they would watch him the rest of the day and let us go home that afternoon. he got to go play upstairs for a bit. had a crazy man with the food trays in there. he brought us 2 trays we started eating on one they he came and took one away then brought in another which was baby food we said this isn't for us then he took that one and brought us another and we started eating on that one too cause one said guest tray they he comes back in to take one and we said we already started eating on it, but were done with the one from breakfast and we hear him fussing with someone in the hall i kinda felt bad but I was like this guy doesn't know what he doing you bring us a tray we thought it was for us. not long after lunch Cameron pulled his Iv out. They let it stay out and we tried to rest but couldn't. then we were finally let go home about 4pm got the other kids and came home i felt like i lost a whole day somewhere whew what an ordeal and it was nothing but an allergic reaction exactly what i thought it was no idea why he was so out of it glad i had him check out and all but he is fine back in school today
