Hayden's 1st Hospital Stay

Poor baby! On Thursday night, Stephanie and Grandma Miller took Hayden to the emergency room because he was having trouble breathing (and he had a runny nose and a cough). They weren't expecting to learn (after him having chest x-rays) that he had pneumonia and that he was going to be put in the hospital. Mom called me Friday at work to tell me and I was heart broken; I just couldn't stand to imagine my sweet 18-month old nephew in a hospital bed hooked up to machines. As soon as I could leave work Friday, I was on my way to Mtn. Home to see Hayden. He was definitely under the weather and not feeling like himself on Friday, but by Saturday he was back to our little Hayden! It was hard to contain him in the little hospital room. It took all of us to entertain him and to keep him from running away from his 'pole' that was hooked to his IV. So sad to see him with an IV, but he was such a good boy. Of course, Aunt Ju-Ju had to take a couple of pictures of him during his first hospital stay....it was a sad moment, but definitely one I wanted to capture. I'm happy to say that they let Hayden go home late Saturday evening! He's feeling even better today!


Love this pic of Hayden in his hospital bed. He is so stinking sweet.
