Back to MMC

Its amazing how quickly Noah can change from being 100% healthy and happy to VERY VERY Sick.... Monday thru Thursday were the best days I have had with Noah in months... He was happy and smiling and babbling up a storm. Thursday night he went to bed the healthiest little boy Ive seen in months, and Friday morning woke up Congested and very fussy. Took him to the Dr's around 2:15 and he was diagnosed with left ear infection and right lung pneumonia. Sent home on antibiotics and xophenex Neb.... Got home around 4pm with daddy and he retched and his fevers skyrocketed. By 7pm he was at 103.8 and his heart rate was over 200. I had put him on O2 by this point and had him up to 5 liters and his O2 stats were then only registering 78%-87%. A call to 911 was needed. Took him to MMC were he was rushed to critical care and was put in the PICU. Pneumonia xray didn't look horrible but thought he may have aspirated his saliva. Did a spinal tap to look for Meningitis but that came back normal...Came very close to putting a breathing tube in but didnt have to it was a very stressful evening.

Tonight things are looking up a little...he has spells of wakefulness where he is his playful self. They did an EEG today and it still looked great. Which was good to hear.....We are still in the Pediatric ICU tonight but are in hopes they might move him upstairs tomorrow. We will wait and see. He is still having high amounts of congestion and wheezing spells. Poor little man!
They did a course of an antibiotic through 2 shots into the leg last night! :( because they had no luck with an IV. and tonight this will be repeated again tonight....I sure hope he feels better soon. I feel so helpless sometimes...
