Back at TCH

I can't believe I am actually writing these words but we are being admitted tonight! James Thomas starting having a mild cough on Thursday and by today he was wheezing terribly. After much debate, James and I decided to bring him to the ER and thank goodness we did. When we first got here they told us his wheezing was an 8-9 on a 10 point scale. They even warned us that he might have to go to the NICU. The immediately put him on breathing treatments and gave him some steroids. He responded beautifully so they told us they would watch him for 3 hours and if he remained stable we could go home. This was wonderful news!! Well, his oxygen levels starting dropping so they had to put him on oxygen. When they tried to take him off it later in the evening his levels dropped again. That is when they decided to keep us over night to watch the little guy. My heart just aches for him. He can't seem to get a break. The last doctor that came in is afraid he may have asthma. They told us that they will have to wait and see as he gets a little bit older. We are waiting for our room back on the 9th floor. I will say it is nice to know where we are headed and we will know some of the nurses. There is a comfort about familiarity. Please pray he does well tonight and we get to go home in the morning!

We are doing well. James is going to get us settled in our room and then head to the house.
