Oh wow, I have SLE too. Yep, been through the asthma scare with my oldest son, he was in the hospital 4 times as a child with what they call status asthmaticus, it's where they get really severe. He'd be bent over hanging on to a chair gasping for breath. We'd take him over the the doctors and they'd give him a breathing treatment, only for him to end up back like that again a few hours later.We almost lost him a few times.
I too have been hit in my lungs from the SLE, because mostly they were my weak area to begin with. So I have a nebulizer here if the baby ever needs one.
If his son had gotten really bad, trust me I would've taken him over myself. I try to avoid ER's this time of year because of some of my meds, they lower my resistance.
He talked to his ex and she said the baby is doing good right now. His fever was high again, but they gave him a suppository and he's doing better now. This time she called him. Maybe there is hope.

HOnestly, this REALLY makes your son look totally incompetent. If the child was really having the trouble breathing you day he was having, then he was 100% neglectful in not getting medical care for the child, whether or not mom agreed.
My son took him over and they told him that they wouldn't treat the baby until the mother was there. What do you think of that? I'm sure that if he were in DIRE need of life sustaining breathing apparatus then it would've been different, but the baby was bad enough that he needed to be seen. They just refused because mom never divulged to dad the childs medical history. Nice huh? So basically he could only do so much with what he knew. He actually had to wait for her to get to the ER before the lil guy was treated.

I don't care what it took, the baby got treated and THAT is all that matters, IMO. Even if mom pitches a Huge fit, nobody cares. Let her pitch it in the hospital with witnesses. DAD did what was right.

wait, you said your son sent the lil guy home for lack of knowing what else to do, in your orginal post. Now you are saying that he did take him to the ER in the first place?

The mom came and picked him up early in the morning, took him to the doctors and bought him back to dad. She told dad that the doctors said he was only in the beginning of a cold and she asked him if he still wanted visitation and he said yes.
Then later on dad saw that baby was still sick to he took him over to the er.
