02.27.11 - Good signs



Update: Nate was released from the hospital late Monday night.


Today was our fourth day in the hospital. The whole time we've just been waiting for Nate's O2 level to stabilize. It was about 89 when we were ordered to the hospital and he was put on 2L of O2. As I type this, he's asleep on Angie's shoulder with a rate of 92 while being on about .125mL of O2. It tends to go down when he's sleeping. He has to be off O2 and maintain at least a 95 for 12 hours before he will be released so we may not go home tomorrow either. But, tonight was the first night that he didn't develop a fever in the evening and his O2 level has remained fairly high. He may have to stay on it all night but at least we see some encouraging signs that we're headed in the right direction.

"This sucks."


"Let me outta this baby cage!!!"


"OK. I'm better now. Can I go home?"


"Maybe I'll just sleep it off."

02.24.11 - Up your nose with a rubber hose


Dr. Green ordered Nate to the hospital today to be observed for low oxygen saturation. As it turns out, it was a good call. Nate has RSV.
