My poor baby Jayden has been a pretty sick little boy these last couple of weeks. He even had to spend a few days in the hospital with pnemonia and RSV. Couple of weeks ago I put Jayden to bed like I usually do and all of a sudden he started crying. I mean really crying! He starte
d to "chill" like you do when you have a fever. His crying and "chilling" went on for about an hour before I could see from a thermometer that he actually had a fever of 102.5. And then ofcourse came two huge seizures in a row. Jose and I were both trying to console him. We had him sandwiched between us, I was rubbing his back and he was rubbing his legs. Then during the second seizure Jayden threw up ALL over me! YUCK! I was more concerned with him asperating than I was about the vomit that unbelievably got all over me and not all over him. Jayden's breathing become short and quick and I got a little worried. I gave him a breathing treatment which didn't seem to help. The next day I took him to the doctor and his SA
T's were about 90. For the next four days around the clock every two hours that kid got breathing treatments. And even with all that effort I couldn't keep him out of the hospital. He was admitted at a SAT of 89. Once he was hydrated in the hospital he was a totally different kid. His eyes were wide and bright, he was vocalizing all the time, and he was very opinionated. All of this showed me that I really I am not keeping him hydrated the way he needs to be. He went home with a concentrator at night (oxygen) and is still getting breathing treatments every 3 to 4 hours. I am so glad he is home. He was doing so well for so long and then all of the sudden everything hit all at once. We have decided to further look into Jayden getting a feeding tube (mic key button). Right now I am syringing all of his bottles in him. Eating for Jayden is not pleasurable but hard work. This was a very tough decision for me as a Mom. It was the last thing I had control over with him. I am trying to look at it on the bright side, it's just another tool to help me better take care of my son. I guess I could use all the help I can get. He might be having surgery as soon as the end of this month, depending upon if I can get him well enough to go under. Keep him in your prayers.
