I suppose it was a good thing that our communication wasn't good enough to know this at the time. I'm not sure I could have slept here in Budapest if I'd known..
- Paxton's pediatrician said she'd never seen such a severe case of croup in her 20 years of practice.
- She insisted he be taken from her office to the hospital in an ambulance.
- Paxton started retracting in the ambulance and the paramedics didn't have what was needed to save him.
- They were slow in getting the correct treatment when he arrived at the emergency room.
- My daughter saw fear and alarm on the faces of the nurses and paramedics.
- They discovered his breathing tube had narrowed to the size of a pin.
- For more than a day he was treated with the strongest steroids they use for such problems.
Love,
Paxton's Grammy
