Well, after over a week of Elle and Kaden being sick Elle is recovered and Kaden is still struggling to feel better. He has kept us busy during the night. He has graciously allowed us to sleep for 3-4 hours a night (not in a row). He is waking himself up coughing and choking. Then he can't go back to sleep and finally works himself into a fever......THEN, he gets Tylenol and a diaper change and then.................well then we could quite possibly wait for hours till he decides to go to sleep. His sat monitor rings off in the night 20+ times due to oxygen going down or elevated heart rate.....Today he had his nurse here and he was so tired that he literally slept all day. That makes me nervous we are going to be up all night again. We are increasing his one puffer and see if that stops the coughing in the night. If he is not better by Thursday I have to take him in to have his chest reassessed. He may need some Prednisone to get him over this. Other than that his blood work from last week was good.
That's it for now I am going to go get Kadens feed started in hopes that we can all sleep tonight. Paul is sleeping downstairs tonight so 50% of us are going to have a nice sleep at least!!!!
