My son had his second airway dilation this past Wednesday for his airway. Well, on Thursday night he got very sick. He had a LOT of vomit and diareaha all over himself & crib early friday morning. He was running a temp but not an alarming temp. He slept on & off on friday but seemed to be improving. Actually on Saturday we thought he was completely back to himself & 100% ok, must've just been a bug he caught maybe at the hospital. In fact he was playing, eating fine, went for a walk with us, very normal saturday we thought, hes ok. Then today he was quite "junkie" in his airway/breathing, some blood from his trach during routine suctioning when he woke this morning. He didnt seem to want his breakfast but ate it as we encouraged him to. He was very sleepy and fell asleep in his playpen at 11am, 2hrs before his normal nap time. He woke about 130 very much in respritory distress, coughing, gagging, very junkie. He was VERY hot when Kevin, my boyfriend, picked him up. We checked his temp, and his fever was back and worse than h is temp was on friday. It was 105.3 rectal. Anyhow we all packed up and went to the hospital, where he knows the place well by now, and they all know and love him there too. After On hour in E.R. we were told he had Pneumonia in his right lung, probably due to him vomiting on thur. night, aspirated an and pneumonia set in. We were told it was normal that perhaps the tummy bug he had he WAS better by fri night and saturday. But, the pneumonia symptoms take a couple days to show up. We spent 5 hrs in E.R. then was moved into IMC (a step down unit of the pediatric intensive care unit). He seems to be improving some already with the antibiotics and care hes recieving. I'm staying at the hospital with him tonight... and until he is discharged. I think we will be here for a few days. Mylot users I need the power of prayer, yet again. Pray for my boy and for a quick recovery so we can go home. By the way, little man is only two.
