ER

We had a very scary experience this past Sunday with Bentley. We still don't know really what happened but we all feel that it was heat exhaustion. This is the story...

We had just gotten out of church and when we went out side it was warm and windy so I put that blanket shield thing they have for the car seat because Bentley doesn't do well with the wind. We stopped to talk to some friends. We were outside for just a little bit then we got in the hot car and went home. We were in the car for all of like 2 min. When we got home we took Bentley in and my mom went to take him out. She mentioned how clammy and wet he was. I noticed how white he was. I hate to say this but he looked like he was dead because of how gray he was. He also felt very cold. He wasn't really responding so we turned on the light to look at him more. He was just so white and his lips and under his eyes were blue. So we started to take his clothes off and when we got most of them off he vomited everywhere. I couldn't believe how much he did. I would never guess he could have so much in his little tummy. So my mom took him from me so I could run and get Brandon. When she took him he then again vomited all over. So I ran down to get Brandon, who was asleep because of his work schedule. It was I am sure a scary way for him to wake up with his wife running in the room yelling that there was something wrong with his son. He jumped out of bed and ran upstairs to see what was going on. Bentley was still very white and was just so limp and not responding. So we decided to rush him to the ER. I don't know how fast Brandon was driving but I know we were flying there. I was just trying to keep Bentley from going to sleep because that's all he was trying to do. I took him in and told the ER people what was going on. The guy looked at me and said ok you need to fill out the paper work first then we will call you back...I was like are you kidding me! I have no idea what is going on with our baby but you want me to sit and fill papers out. I couldn't believe they didn't take us back and make sure he was breathing ok...So we sat and filled out the papers. By the time we were done and before they called us back. Bentley was responding and he wasn't as white. I couldn't believe it. It almost got to the point of wondering why we even came down. Anyways once the doctor got to us Bentley was his happy self and his color was back. They took an x-ray of his abdomen and it all came back normal. So they just said they don't know what is wrong with him and sent us home. I was so unimpressed with everything. There may not of been something but we didn't just go down there to fill out papers and let him smile at the doctor...So we at home diagnosed him with heat exhaustion. Its better than what they did at the ER...as you can tell I wasn't happy about them. Especially the money we had to pay for nothing...I am just grateful that he is ok and nothing came of it. He just likes to scare us. But he is such a good little boy. We did take one picture of him. He doesn't look too happy but this is when we are waiting for the ER doctor to see us.

Again I am so grateful that nothing came of it. We did take off the thing that covers the car seat and will not be using that anymore and would highly suggest that no one use those things. Because it really could have turned out so differently.
