Day 3

Well it's day 3 and Kayden is still in the hospital. He had a pretty good night having a breathing treatment about midnight and then not again until 7:00am-the longest span so far. Although, about half way through the night his oxygen levels dropped and he was put back on oxygen. This morning about 10:30 they tried to take him off of it to see how he would do and he dropped again, so they put him back on it. The tubes really seem to make his nose itchy and they bother him. The poor little guy-I just want to take him home to his own bed and to his house.

I had kinda a rough morning and have had an emotional day. It is so hard to see someone you love so much so miserable. He is such an amazing little guy and it breaks my heart to have him like this. I just want to help him but there isn't anything we can do really. They had hoped he would be released this morning but with all that has gone on today we are still here and don't know when we are leaving. I asked the doctor how much longer he will be like this and although they say it shouldn't be too long, they aren't completely sure. Most kids go home the next day, and we are on day 3 now.

Nicks parents are in town, and I talked to Nick's dad on the phone today about giving Kayden a blessing. They stopped in on their way to church and he had a member of the church help him perform the blessing. Although I am not LDS, it does make me feel better inside, and a blessing is still a blessing no matter what religion you are. It really helped me to feel a little more at ease.

So, we will just hang in there and keep a good eye on our little man. I will keep you posted on how things go.

Another fun weekend

Thursday Kayden woke up with a wheeze. I couldn't believe how bad it was but Nick and I decided that we both had missed a lot of work lately with being off for the Holidays and Kayden being sick so much these past few months, so we went to work. Chrissy kept a good eye on him and that night I took him in to see his doctor. The listened to him and were concerned with his breathing so they gave him a shot of steroids in his leg to help open his airways. I took him home and he had a rough night because he was having a hard time breathing.

Yesterday morning we got ready for work and I just didn't have the heart to leave him. I stayed home with him so that I could watch him throughout the day. When Nick got home and things weren't any better we decided we should take him to the Emergency Room. We took him to Orem Community where they gave him a breathing treatment, took some chest X-rays and swabbed him for RSV. The doctor seemed concerned that he was having such a hard time breathing, his wheezing was to the point that you could hear him breath from down the hall in antoher room.

They gave us the option to take him home with a nebulizer, or admit him to Utah Valley Regional to be watched. Something inside of me made me feel like he needed to be admitted, so we took him over to Utah Valley about 10:30pm. He has had a total of 6 breathing treatments now, just got some motrin for his fever of 103.9 and had to be on oxygen this morning because his levels dropped. I think they will probably end up keeping him overnight again tonight.

I feel so bad for him, but he really tries to be in a good mood and is so cute. He talks to all the nurses and doctors when they come and tries to get up and play in the crib and walk around. The little flannel hospital jammie bottoms they have on him keep coming off when he walks around and he has patches on his cheeks where they attached the oxygen. I really hope he feels better soon so I can take him home where he is comfortable.
