Tonight he seems to be much better. Snot came out one end while Poo came out the other, so life is getting better. He was talking much more and instructing everyone when they should be "all done" with him. :) I think everyone was glad to hear that. I turned down his oxygen slightly and might get to turn down a little more. Not quite sure where we are at because the numbers are 1-15, so the lines are very tiny.
In addition to all this, he has been sleeping in a bed, bed, no crib. Mine you he has been rather lethargic, so he has been willing to lay still and not attempt a jail break.
Although not completely out of the woods, he is much better than when we first brought him in, which wasn't his worst.
Hopefully they will let us go home soon. Have a good night!

Uff-da
Well, here is a review of what landed Ayden in the hosptial...
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.

My first visit to the Ocean!!!
Well, Ayden got his first glimpse of the Ocean! In typical Ayden fashion... he threw caution to the wind and ran in! Of course, the people sitting on the beach were probably laughing their head off b/c Chris and I were chasing...
We ended up in San Diego because I was in training and so we took the opportunity to turn it into a mini-vacation. So while I sat freezing in training, Chris and Ayden hung out at the beach! We stayed at the Navy Lodge on Coronado Island, which had a complete open beach all to ourselves, while the vacationers at the Coronado Resort were packed like sardines! :)
In addition to the beach, Chris and Ayden took in a Padres game. And we took Ayden to Lego Land. Although the mounds of Legos were cool, Ayden really loved to drive the boats!
Have a good day!
