Firemen, Pumpkins, the Razorbacks and Asthma?...Fall has arrived!

I took this picture of the boys right after the Hogs defeated the Tigers yesterday!!! Doesn't Pax look like he feels well? We thought so too! Unfortunately, after we got home from Fayetteville last night, we had an eventful night at our house. Long story short, Pax had a severe asthma attack around 4 am. Yes, Paxton... the one w/o the asthma we thought! When he was 3 mos old he had one incident with asthma, but that was when he had Pnemonia so we just chalked it up to that. Anyway...we ended up having to call 911 (under strict nurse orders after she heard him wheezing so badly over the phone). After two updrafts w/the machine (luckily we are prepared b/c Brooks has asthma) and by the time the paramedics arrived we were able to get him pretty well under control. We went on to the the ER in our car and only had to stay a few minutes. They believe he has the Croup, which in kids with asthma or prone to have asthma can induce a really bad asthma attack, which is what they believe happened with him. We thank God he protected one of our baby boys once again! It was very nerve-racking and caught us totally off guard. He had a cough before he went to bed and I just felt the need for him to sleep in our bed (which is unusual). I know the Lord put that on my heart, b/c we wouldn't have heard him struggling to breathe across the house. Please say a prayer for him that this was a one time incident!




The last two years my mom has painted pumpkins with the boys. I know you are all shocked the Lane boys picked a "Sports" theme. Brooks wanted to leave the adorable Razorback canvas on the front door that Lindsey painted us, so I have combined Halloween and the Razorbacks this year. Sadly, our pumpkins are already starting to rot, but these are from a couple of days ago.




Brooks' preschool class had a "Fire Safety" emphasis last week. Here are a couple of pics from the morning. I caught the tell end of their time with the firemen. Brooks loved it. He had to wear his rain boots b/c he said that is the closest thing he has to fireman boots!
