RSV Battle

Oh how life can change in an instant! We were doing awesome just getting back to normal life and then bam! Back at the hospital all over again. Azzie was sick a week or two ago but just had a runny nose and mild cough no biggy, Friday Austin got a mild cough so I though just to be safe and took him to instacare. They tested him for RSV and it came back positive. Because of his NICU history and he is a preemie, we were told to go to Primary Children's hospital Er. I got there at midnight and they took us to an ER room. The ER bed is a little large for him!

He looked good but then they admitted us to a hospital room for observation. He had a cough but everything looked good and the next day around noon they sent us home. It was a long night with two kids per hospital room, one lousy cot, crying kids, a different hospital, beeping monitors, and being nervous. I got NO sleep.

Around noon we went home. Later that night he sounded congested and looked like he was working hard to breathe so we went to Riverton hospital ER and they have a bronchial clinic. They suctioned him and said still looked fine and sent us home. I had now been up for 31 hours. I got home very late and went to sleep for the night. Austin slept well. That morning he was blue and sounded horribly congested so I hurried back to Riverton Er. His oxygen stats were very low 84, so they admitted us up to a room. First we were supposed to be here for a few hours, then a night, then a few nights and now 5 days later we are still struggling to get home. He is working hard to breathe and eat all at the same time. Hoping he gets better soon. Love you buddy and you are a fighter!

I got a great view. Very pretty sunrises.

Azlyn loves to visit her brother. They have an awesome playroom, free chocolate milk, Disney princess movies, and an Xbox 360 in every room.
