He is still in the hospital, but he is doing much much better. He has been moved to a regular room, and he may can come home in a couple of days.
All his tests have come back negative, so they have diagnosed him with bronchulitis. They said that his reaction was like what an asthma patient does when they get sick. Their chords just swell, and since his was so small, that is why he got so bad, so fast. His lungs were really full of junk, and they were so tight, then we couldn't even hear him wheezing at home. They said he could end up with asthma, or this could just be a one-time thing. At least now I now what to look for, and get help quickly.
I keep playing it over and over in my mind, and I am just so grateful that this didn't happen at night, and that it did happen at the doctor's office. Wow.
He was in a great mood today, and was so alert. I can't wait to get him back home with us, we are really missing him!
What he is hooked up to here, is just oxygen going into his nose, he has IV's on both arms, but only one is hooked up, and that is to an antibiotic. On his chests are just recording his heart rate, and on his toe he has his pulse/ox monitor.
Good! Glad to see your update on how he's doing. Hopefully he'll get to come home soon!
ReplyDeleteHe is so beautiful...so sad that he is ill. Praying for a speedy and complete recovery.
ReplyDeleteI've been WAY out of the loop! I can totally relate to poor Christian....Ethan was admitted to the hospital with bronchiolitis and failure to thrive at 6 weeks old. I was horrified. And it was NOTHING compared to your situation. Just so pitiful to see a tiny one so very sick. I'm glad he's back home now. God Bless!
