Ambulance Ride to PCH after Joseph's apneic event

About 3 pm Joseph was waking up from a nap and started crying. A few seconds later Kristine asked Jonathan to bring Joseph to her from the master bedroom to the Living room. When Jonathan brought the baby to Kristine Joseph was blue and had patchy skin. After moving him he was breathing. Jacob ran to Kari's house to get the pulse meter. We checked Joseph's oxygen saturation and it was in the 80s. Kari came over to help. After talking to Kari, Jason and the ENT nurse we decided to call 911. The police can first and then the ambulance came. Joseph O2 was still in the 80s when the EMTs checked his oxygen. They recommended transport to PCH (Primary Children's Hospital). 

Joseph in ER at PCH

After arriving at the ER, there were about 10-15 people in the room, putting oxygen on him and hooking him up to get his heart rate and oxygen, and getting his history. Joseph had chest x-ray done and tested negative for bronchiolitis. Jason meet Kristine at the ER (first he had to drop groceries off at the house). After talking with ENT they decided to admit Joseph. While the pediatric floor observed him, he started crying and turned blue around his lips. They didn't feel comfortable watching him so the Pediatric Floor decided to send him to the PICU (Pediatric Intensive Care Unit).

About 10 o'clock he was transfered to the PICU department from the ER. Surprisingly after we got to the PICU Dr. Park showed up with the ENT residents to do a flexible microlaryngoscopy. Dr. Park had already scheduled for Joseph to have surgery at 7 am the next morning.
