Going to the ER

Jo was holding Gabriel, when his lips turned blue, we brought him to the ER, and dropped Eleanor off at Aaron's parents house. We half expected (hoped) that the ER staff would send us away as overly nervous parents. They didn't. With retractions (using extra muscles to breathe), he needed to be watched by specialists at DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids.
Instead, Gabriel had another episode just as the transport team arrived; he flew by helicopter to the pediatric intensive care unit (PCCU). We followed by car and arrived just as the sun was rising.
