Sunday, we attended a friend's superbowl party and he had a lot of fun playing their pinball and slot machines. We got home and he was a little warm and it turns out he had a temp of 101. That night he needed a little oxygen, but about the same amount as with a cold. Monday... just cold "stuff", but Monday night, we had him up to 3/4 L of O2. So Tuesday morning we visited the pediatrician, who thought he had the beginnings of pneumonia. So he got a shot of antibiotics and got more to take home.
Wednesday night he had a horrible night and at 6 AM we packed up and headed to the emergency room at the Children's Hospital. He got admitted, but they didn't have a bed available until 2pm! What was thought to be pneumonia, was really RSV . Although to everyone else, it's just a bad cold, with Ayden's lungs it makes it very difficult to breath.
After being admitted, the Drs have been trying everything to get his respiratory rate down and a more calm breathing pattern, which as proven very difficult. Today, they moved him for observation into the ICU. But it seems like they were more on top of it on the pulmonary floor.
So... as of right now... Chris and I are just trying to stay on top of the hospital staff so they stay on top of Ayden's care. :)
Friday, they moved him to the ICU floor for closer observation.
Ayden's new friend he received from his buddy, Mitchell. Mr. Teddy Bear actually brought a quick smile to Ayden.Ayden has taken to saying bye to everyone... no "hi", only bye... think he is feeling better? HaHa Thanks for checking in... will be updating as things change.

Ahhhh-the picture is sad because you can tell he feels crummy but seems so relaxed. Love the Teddy Bear :)
Get some rest Dawn and Chris and get better soon Ayden!
Thanks for updating Dawn. I hope Ayden is feeling better tonight and you can all rest a bit.
