Not home yet

Well we are not home yet due to some unexpected circumstances on our return flight from Chicago. Logan had not been feeling well when we left Hong Kong. Just figured he had a cold, would take him to the dr. when we got home. Get to Chicago, he worsens. Starting to get croupy, bark like coughing, fever, chills. Still thinking just need to get home. Gave him Motrin to get us by. On our flight from Chicago, Logan tells Scott he can't breathe and wants them to drop the oxygen. You could tell by looking at him he was struggling to breathe and very scared.
The stewardess brought an oxygen tank and mask for him to breathe and wanted to know if any medical personnel was on the plane. Several people came to our rescue and gave Logan some albuterol inhalant. He still wasn't doing that well, so the pilot did an emergency landing in Atlanta. Paramedics were waiting for us at the airport. Logan was then transported to a local hospital and later that night they transferred him to a children's hospital for admittance. Not much fun considering he had never been in the hospital before and having a IV was very traumatic. He had several breathing treatments, lots of blood work and tests. Scary ordeal for all of us. So Logan was discharged this afternoon and we will fly home tomorrow.
He's doing better thank goodness.
Our other ordeal was my overnight bag which had been in carry on was left on the plane. In all the rush to get Logan off the plane, it got left behind on the plane in the overhead compartment.
This bag had all our adoption documents in it which proved Meigan was ours. As if Logan being sick wasn't enough, we had no way of knowing if the bag was found and taken to Ft. myers lost and found. long story short, we found out the bag is in Ft. Myers waiting for us.
We are currently in a hotel here in Atlanta. My cell phone is dead, but you can reach us at 404-768-8484 rm. 415.
Next time I write, I pray we are finally home!

Oh no - what an ordeal! So glad to hear Logan is ok. The flight back is challenging in itself, I can't even imagine how crazy it must've been for all of you!

Hope you are home safe & sound really soon!
