Day 7

I can't believe it has been a week since Kayden was admitted to the hospital. Ok, it feels like forever, but that just really sounds like a very long time. During the night last night they put him back on the oxygen. He drops to 86 when he sleeps, sometimes as low as 84. Good news is he hasn't had a breathing treatment or deep suctioning since yesterday at 10:30am. So he has made it a whole day without a treatment! His congestion is now higher in his chest and not so deep and he seems to get stuff up when he coughs which is good too.

They have talked about sending him home today with an oxygen tank for when he sleeps. He would be on oxygen at home when he sleeps for a couple of days. I would feel so much better about him going home if we had that there because of how he drops when he sleeps. That is the biggest worry right now is that he isn't getting the oxygen he needs. I will keep you posted.
