Home from the hospital - he got worse

MichaelsMommy wrote: Well we've been to hell and back. Turns out he didn't have RSV
but Pneumonia He was not getting any better so they admitted
us on Sat and we got home today finally. After rounds of fluid
via IV, antibiotics, steroids, antibiotics and breathing treatments he
was finally 24 hours without fever. His oxygen levels got back up
to 95 so they let us come home today. We still have to do
breathing treatments every 3 hours, but he's very happy to be home.
Through it all he lost a pound and 7oz - but he's finally eating better
and gettins some solid sleep.

Here's some pics from our journey..

His Crib


2 many tubes






The brace on his arm was to protect the IV. His face looks just terrible
today, when they took the tape off it really did a number on him.

I'm sick too - it never fails.. I have not been able to get decent sleep
today because of cold meds hopping me up - hopefully i can catch up
on some tonight. Dh has been a godsend in all of this - he helped me
so much.

Thanks for all the well wishes - they worked.

Alice replied: I'm so sorry for the whole ordeal!!

At least he's feeling better now and you're all home!

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Oh poor baby! He looks miserable with all those tubes. I'm glad he's finally doing better ~ I hope you can start getting better now too!

kit_kats_mom replied: Watching someone put an IV in your baby is a special kind of torture. I've been there and it is no fun.

I'm glad he's on the mend. Try to get some rest mamma

How is he doing today?

MichaelsMommy replied: Hey thanks for asking
He's better - but not 100%. Not eating well - like half of what he used to.
His spirits are up. He's still getting breathing treatments every 3 hours
and antibiotics 2x a day at home. We go for a recheck tomorrow.
No fever since the hospital - so thats a good thing.

A&A'smommy replied:
goodness that has to be tough!! I'm glad he is feeling better though poor kid!

kaitlynsmom replied: Oh Lord! Seeing your baby like that must break your heart - so sorry your family had to go through that and hope the little one feels better soon.

Mandasmomma replied: I hope the recheck went okay - and that he is better today...mommy too!!

redchief replied: Glad he's feeling better... Poor little guy

loveydad replied: oh i forgot to say, Jordan, a 2 year old I know, he is still on breathing treatments and he just sits there for them. NIcky's 18 months and he still sits for his really still. at first they don't but pretty soon they get used to it.

lovemyboy replied: My son is going through the same thing. We caught the pneumonia in the early stages so we didn't have to be in the hospital (thankfully) He's on a nebulizer with albuterol sulfate in it every 4 hours. He's also on prednislone & zithromax.

It's NOT fun! I'm glad your son is feeling better.
