JaCobys Ambulance Ride and near death experience

It was a awful day. JaCoby woke up feeling just fine. He played with his friends, made sugar cookies, and played at the park. He went to bed feeling just fine He complained of a leg ache so I gave him some Tylenol. His color looked good. He wasn't cold or clammy so he went to bed. At 10:30 he woke up and started throwing up He wouldn't stop. His face was white his lips were blue and he was cold and clammy. We rushed him straight to the Emergency Room by the time we got there he was already unconscious. Yes I said unconscious. They rushed him straight in no paper work no waiting in line. They hooked him up to oxygen and sent me out of the room. I was to the point of hysteria and ready to pass out myself. Our Bishop came over after midnight and gave him a blessing. He was still very pail and not responding well plus the fact that he was freezing. All of the doctors on call they were not understanding as too what in the world was going on. They called our doctor and he didn't know. At 2 in the morning they decided to transport him to the Primary Children's hospital in Salt Lake city. I was angry. They wouldn't let me ride with him in the ambulance. I wasn't sure what was going on and the 45 minute drive seemed like eternity by then it was close to 3:30 in the morning. My own Mother and Father were also scared to death. It was then that I realized that God was in control. No Matter how much we prayed it was up to the Lord on the outcome. I remembered saying I will give my heart if he needs it or my kidneys or anything else in my body just get him better. When we got to Primary children's he was in the ER still they got him a room and he had finally stopped throwing up. His color was looking better and we then had a feeling that he was going to make it. We have spent a totally of about 63 hours in the 2 hospitals. It felt like Eternity. I wouldn't leave his side. I actually laid down on the hospital bed with him. He wanted mommy and he wanted to snuggle. He was scared. Dad went back down to Provo and got him his blue blankie and favorite books to read. He was happy. I remember feeling relieved that his fever broke that he was better. Thanks to all of you who kept him in your prayers and all the phone calls. I am not feeling well now but Jacoby's getting his strength back. Were still not completely sure what happened. They think it was a viral infection but were not certain. We are giving him lots of liquids and food and he is getting very spoiled. We aren't going to church I don't want him around kids. I had called and talked to the bishops wife to tell her I wasn't going to be there for my calling we got home and the relief society president called and said they were bringing food over. I am grateful but it is easier to give away food then it is to receive it. We wont up date for a few days as our strength is slowly recovering. I have learned that Life family and friends and more important. I have also learned to live each moment as if its your last. Life is so fragile. I love you all. All I want for my birthday on Monday is too have our son feeling better. I also want my strength and energy back!!! I want to thank my husband for all his help and support through all of this
