    So tonight our two year old woke up with sudden stridor. He was screaming and gasping for air. Red not blue. He was dry heaving and throwing up. I wanted suction, positive pressure, racemic epi, steroids.

        I am a hospital based physician. I am used to having support and equipment to diagnose and treat things. I am a mom. It’s that moment when you realize that you are just a parent within the walls of your home, without all your tools.

        Respiratory. Distress. Both present. I wrestled with calling 911, waiting, or just going into the ER. I just kept thinking “Don’t lose the airway. You have nothing”. I wondered what I would tell a friend to do if their child woke up unable to breathe. I dialed.

        I kept looking for things to use to help him. Again. Just in my house. I hate myself for not having an ambu bag. Nebs. Steroids. I suck. Why don’t I have an airway cart at home?! I’m the worst. We try to hold him and calm him and he’s gasping.

        It’s funny where a career in medicine makes you terrified and where it makes you confident. The same with parenting.

        Our help arrives. Caffeinated night shift. Bright eyed. Ready and able. Protocols, calm, bravery, clear communication. Kind, gentle, and funny. They tell us: “You did the right thing, and he needs to be seen”.

        They are incredible with him and with us. We head to the ER. They too are AMAZING. Reassuring. Calming. The resident examines our 2 year olds tummy only to receive 3 sneezes to the face “Oh did I find your sneeze button?” I laugh and I want to cry it is so sweet.

        We tell the story again. Oh and don’t worry. I got so into my demonstration of the cough/breathing for the ER Team that I swallow my gum. At least I didn’t aspirate?

        They give him ibuprofen and steroids. We call it candy soup and it works. A popsicle ensues.

        The attending comes in. It sounds pretty classic for croup. I feel so embarrassed and keep apologizing and doubting myself. Croup. Steeple sign. Worse at night. Parainfluenza. Racemic Epi and steroids (at least I was right about that). Cold weather might help (we have that!)

        I stayed embarrassed. I should know this. From medical school. But you know what? It’s not readily available under the layers of anesthesiology/transplant/etc. I’m not a pediatrician. I’m not an ER doc. I haven’t even had a child with croup. I’m allowed to be a scared parent?

        Far be it from me to wager a guess on my baby. And this is why we have a continuous and expansive team in healthcare. We all have our areas of excellence and 10,000 hours of expertise. And for this I am so grateful. I am so grateful to the amazing team that took care of us.

        Thank you thank you. I’m so grateful for your expertise, experience, skill, and kindness. Thank you. We are all going to bed now. Which may be a challenge for captain steroid pants. I didn’t know croup could just come on so hard and strong after no prior symptoms!

        People who respond to emergencies OUTSIDE the hospital and people who take care of sick kids (and their parents) are my heroes.
