Poor Curran

Once again we are back in the hospital with Curran with Respiratory problems. It started last friday with him running a fever and a small cough. This continued into the weekend and slowly the cough got worse and he quite eating. By monday you couldn't even get him to wake up. He slept over 21 hours in a 24 hour period. I took him in at the same time Callie had her 4 year check up (which she is doing fantastic). They told me it was a sinus infection and gave me antibiotics. Well I didn't know the antibiotic he perscribed was the one that made his stomach sick and on top of not eating, it was not good for him to have that antibiotic with out food in his stomach. So I called back this morning (tues) and just asked them to get me another antibiotic and they told me just to bring him back in. Well I did and I just asked them to check his oxygen levels. Keep in mind that they want your oxygen levels to be 90 and above to keep you out of the hospital. When I got there it was 88. They did a breathing treatment and after the treatment it was at 85. They waited a little longer and it had droped all the way to 80... Well dang! At this point they hooked him right up to oxygen and told me to rush to the hospital. In fact one of the nurses rode over with me to keep his oxygen on him. We are unsure of what he has at this time. Maybe RSV (again) but we don't know. We do know it is not Pnemonia. As of tonight he is on a full liter of oxygen and from what the nurses have told me that is a lot for a little guy to be on. So who knows what is going to happen. But on a positive note, he is drinking and eating a little bit and they only had to poke him three times to get his IV in. They did two pokes in the the head and the veins blew so they called a nurse up from the ER and had him try the arm and they got it right away. So the IV this time is in his arm. They have it borded and wrapped so he can't bend his arm or get to it.
It is really hard to sit back and watch my little guy have to go through this again. It is so hard to have to sit and hold my son down while they put an IV into his arm. It is so hard to sit and watch him be so sick...But I KNOW my Savior LOVES him and is watching out for him and our family. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and your prayers at this time.
Love, Clint, Becky, Callie and Curran
