Day 441 - 🚨 Emergency Office Visit

Wednesday, March 16th, 2022 James seemed like he was getting worse so Mom called the pediatrician to see if we could come in today for a sputum culture. Unfortunately their response was pretty crappy telling us just to go to the ER. What is the point of having a pediatrician then, especially being part of the complex care clinic? We called the Pulmonologist afterwards and they told us they could take us if we could come in in 20 minutes. They are about 12 minutes away so Mom quickly packed everything up. She was planning to just go and make the first trip solo with James in the car, but it wouldn't have been ideal considering James needed to be suctioned often at the moment. Dad ended up rescheduling some calls so he could drive which worked out. We made it about 10 minutes late, because there's just a lot to do! A lot of equipment and double checking! Even though we are very proficient at this point, moving as fast as possible, it still takes time. And there was traffic, Tampa...
