The kids all started with a mild cold again, but in Seth it VERY quickly overwhelmed his little lungs, causing his oxygen saturations to plummet back into the mid-80%'s - and this after satting 97-99% on average the past few days. He was the most lethargic I've ever seen just an hour ago; it was freaky. I had already put a call into the pulmonologist early this morning and was waiting for a call back because Seth had a fever (101) and was starting to sat lower than normal, but he was still in the okay range. That went south really fast; when he woke up from his nap I put in an emergency call and got an immediate response. When we'd seen the pulmonologist on Tuesday he was worried this might happen despite how great Seth was doing that day, because I told him the others were fighting yet another cold. So now my dad is picking up steroids and antibiotics, Seth is on a liter of oxygen and if he needs any increase at all we're supposed to take him to the ER. His temp is higher now - 102. We just took it again.
Thanks for praying, we'll keep you posted.
Love,
Carrie

| At 11:30 when he had a fever and was satting 85% before oxygen. The scary thing was that he didn't care or move at all when we put the oxygen cannula on him. Normally he really fights it, even last time when we ended up in the hospital! |
Praying, Carrie.

Oh Seth you are too precious; fervent prayers for you and sibblings!!
ReplyDeletePraying. He is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for Seth.
ReplyDeleteI laid my hand on his picture and prayed that "my" special guy who has that wonderful smile, would be healed by the Great Physician from fever and his lungs totally clear and healed.
ReplyDeleteI was a preemie and had pneumonia monthly five months until I was 3 when they planned to remove my one non functioning lung. God in His Grace & Mercy, inflated my lung and heal it. He is the same God that is over Seth, and nothing is impossible for God! Praying!
Back on these old knees! Praying for Seth and for peace for your heart Mama...I've said it before, God has a mighty plan for this little one, He keeps making him stronger with each set back.....God IS good!
