Back "In House"

That's the term they use when you are admitted into the hospital again. "IN HOUSE" because he has the RSV virus. Basically a virus that wouldn't phase an adult but in babies especially, so much mucus and gunk builds up in the lungs and sinus' that it makes it difficult to breath. Their airways are so small as it is and then fill them with crud and they end up needing oxygen or a ventilator.. etc. Not fun. The only thing they have to treat it with is some weird tent thing, called Ribavirin, that pumps medicine into the air that he breaths and it's suppose to target the RSV. Three times a day for two hours, for five days. So we'll be "in house" for at least five days. In December he started his synergist which is suppose to keep him from getting RSV, since it didn't he probably shouldn't get it as severe. We're hoping. I was pretty frustrated when they told me that we would have to be admitted but thinking about it, we're better off here because they can give him the help he needs breathing and I would have been a nervous wreck and he would have gotten really sick. So blessings come in strange ways. :) At least strange to us.
Henry got a fever last night at 5pm. Dinner starts at 5pm and Elizabeth had just woken up from a nap. So I say to my mom, lets all go together because he already had his labs done earlier that day and all they needed to do was draw blood cultures. Four and half hours later.... and they finally tell us we're being admitted and mom and Elizabeth go back to the 'Donald House' for some food. What a night!
It's going to be a hard five days. But hopfully he'll get through this with out many more difficulties. Elizabeth is watching Cartoons and getting into everything she's not suppose to. Henry is crying he's calling for momma. Better get going. I just thought I would let you all know what's new today.
Sending lots of Love to all!
