Hurricane Pneumonia Update

There isn't a lot to report today. Justin acted like he was feeling pretty good. He played a lot and was able to maintain his oxygen levels all day - even during naptime. The big test is if he can do it overnight. Dave is spending the night with him tonight and I'm going to try and get some rest at home. Being in the hospital is exhausting with people coming in and out of the room all night!

The nurses and respiratory techs are still getting a ton of gunk out of him when they are suctioning- which they do every four hours. That's the scary part to me about coming home - we won't be able to be so high-tech about it. I did get the Nosefrida in the mail this week though...maybe it will work better than the bulb suction.

If Justin does well without oxygen overnight they will likely send him home tomorrow - if not he'll have another day there. I took some of his favorite toys in for him on Tuesday. His book from Aunt Lindsay is getting a lot of use and the singing puppy dog that Aunt Lori gave him is too. They untethered him today so he did get to crawl around the room a bit too which was nice.

Hopefully we'll have good news to report tomorrow.
