Merry Christmas!

Wednesday night, they moved him to a regular room. Thursday night they said they'd take him off the oxygen and see how he did, however, that didn't happen until Friday morning (Christmas Eve). The doctor said the oxygen levels would drop while he slept, so they wanted to see how he'd do sleeping before they okay'd him to go home. Well, it's kind of hard to tell that if you don't sleep! His first 15 minute nap showed that his levels dropped and we woke him up trying to get the oxygen back on. But, when he woke up, his levels went back up, so we left him alone. His next nap didn't come until very late in the afternoon/evening. His levels stayed where they should, so the doctor at the hospital discharged him. We left the hospital by 8 p.m.

He's very weak. He tries to sit up, but gets worn out easily. I'm not sure how much weight/muscles he lost, but I know it will take some recovery time and some good eating to get back to 100%. He has an inhaler he will take twice a day and the breathing treatments if his wheezing comes back. The doctor said if it comes back and three breathing treatments in a row don't help, to head back to TCH. But HOPEFULLY it won't come to that! We are going to try to stay indoors and he is not going back to daycare until flu season is over! His body can't afford to go through this again! Thanks so much for all the thoughts and prayers over the past 10 days. He's our little miracle baby!!
