Our little Benjamin has asthma and ended up in the local emergency room for inhalation therapy and IV meds. He was such a good boy. His nurse found out how much Benjamin loved helicoptors and got one of the Heli crew members to give him a personal tour of the Life Star Chopper. Benjamin's pulse shot up to 170. Get ready to join his excitement. Heli Bound Benjamins Dream Heli-Bent Great Tailrotor PoppaBear Is this a Hospital Heli ?

    That face in the first shot says it all! Really nice set. And I'm glad he's feeling better as well. How could he not?

    I couldn't help but think about the old saying "All's well that ends well..." Definately in this case Benjamin's cloud had a silver lining! Hugs!

    Give Benjamin a hearty "UURRAAAHH!" from an old Marine Warrior.

    That must have been terrifying for all at the ER! Thank goodness he is okay! Love the shots, especially those where you can see his expressions!

    My hat's off to Benjamin, I know firsthand how scared and panicked you can get when you can't breathe. It's the worst feeling imaginable. I've had to be taken to ER a couple times, once unconscious, and know how he feels. Looks like he had some great nurses. My nurses wouldn't show me anything though... maybe if I'd have liked helicopters.

    Having asthma is never any fun, I'm glad he's doing better and is out of the hospital. Its never any fun and sometimes can be scary for a little kid. Its really great to see how much the nurses care.

    Flying ER, I think he looked disappointed that he was not going to be the one to fly the Heli, But all great shots. Great to see this effort for him. I rode in one, so i know how it feels. Great experience, better than any flying possible.
