Spring Break - AZ - Day 3

Given that we had a sick, cranky baby - we scrapped any plans to go do anything. It's a good thing Brighton is only 2 because he had a great time at "Mimi's Arizona house," as he calls it. We had taken his cars with us and he had fun playing with them out in the Arizona room - as much as he was out there playing with them, you would have thought I would have gotten a picture of it. I did not, however. One of Brighton's favorite parts of the trips was having breakfast in bed with Mimi. Mimi & Papa have a king-sized bed and a TV in their bedroom. So, Mimi made him bacon & eggs and spread a blanket out on the bed and let him eat breakfast there while watching cartoons and playing with his cars. He must have mentioned it about 50 times and he would laugh and say, "That's so silly!" As you can tell, we have never let him eat in bed at our house!

That evening Rigley started really using his little stomach muscles to breathe - which is the retraction that the Urgent Care told us to be on the lookout for and to get to an E/R if we saw him doing that. So, a little before 9pm we headed to Banner Children's Hospital's emergency room. Apparently by the time we arrived it was "rush hour" at the E/R because we waited FOREVER. The waiting room was very full. We finally got called back and the staff was very nice. The doctor we saw had actually worked at Children's Hospital in St. Louis for quite a while - that's where we take Rigley for clubfoot treatment. Anyway, they did the actual RSV test to confirm that is what he had. They also found that he had a double ear infection - that could explain the waking up screaming every hour or so. I felt so bad, but they didn't catch it or even mention that his ears were looking bad at the Urgent Care, so I never suspected it.

Here is Rigley with Daddy in the E/R waiting - which we did alot of that night.


We thought Rigley needed a souvenier of his trip to AZ and what better than a chest x-ray?!?
They discharged us about 1am with prescriptions and a list of 24 hour pharmacies. We dropped off the prescriptions and he told us to come back in about 20 minutes. What are you going to do at 1am for 20 minutes? Go to an all-night taco stand, of course!

We went to Filiberto's Mexican Food and trust me, they had a good photographer to take the above pic for their website. In real life, it looks like an old In-n-Out Burger that is run down. However, it has some yummy food! Donovan got a Spanish Omelet and I think it was the best omelet I have ever tasted! We drove back to the Walgreen's and sit in the parking lot and ate until it was time to pick up Rigley's prescription, then got back to Mimi's house about 2am. What a vacation! ;)
