Memorial Weekend In The PICU

Isaac was admitted to the PICU this morning because he had significant need for more oxygen during the night. We took him to the ER at 2 am after we had him cranked up to 6 liters (as far as the tank would go) and he was still de-satting. For a few days he's been a mystery boy. Super happy, not acting sick, but his oxygen requirements were all over the place. Since sending in a culture this week it grew out an infection. So anyway, they are treating him with IV antibiotics. Since I've seen him MUCH sicker than this in the hospital, my guess would be that he won't have to be there very long before we can treat him at home. It's been a year since our last admit so all things considered, that's a big thing!

Poor little man! Having to be in the hospital when you're wondering why. You don't feel sick or look sick, and here you are playing with your toys in a hospital bed, and smiling and laughing. Isaac says, "what's wrong with these people...oh, and where's my iPad, Mom?

Love, Gammy
