The Effing Virus! Ugh!

This virus is kicking Sam's butt and exhausting us all.  Yesterday, Sam was coughing up a storm and his breathing was just awful.  He was wheezing and breathing hard.  We were very concerned.  A trip to the immediate care center (which BTW, is apparently the hopping place to hang out on Friday nights if you're a parent) led to another breathing treatment that failed to make a difference in Sam's breathing.  We were then sent to the Children's Hospital's ER. 

Once there, Sam had basically had enough.  He was inconsolable and just cried and cried.  I know he was miserable and tired and hungry.  He got another breathing treatment that didn't work.  They put him on oxygen (so sad to watch) and he finally fell asleep in my arms.  The docs admitted him, we moved up to our room and J, Sam and I settled down for the night.  Sam didn't need any oxygen while he slept during the night (Yay!) and they finally released us around noon today. 

Everyone is exhausted.  Sam's been napping since we got home.  Hopefully this stupid, effing virus leaves our house very soon or I'm going to lose it.

Here's poor Sam looking just adorable in his hospital gown:

Sweet baby.
  
And here's a happy pic of Sam from earlier in the day yesterday:
