RSV for sure

2:00ish:
So, I just got off the phone with Grandma Denise and the nurses at People's Clinic and this is what we know right now:

- He is positive for RSV
- His pulse ox has gone down quite a bit. From the 11th at 99-98, 18th- 97-96, to today 90.
- He needs to take the Neb every 4 hrs no matter what, he has to use the mask, not the blow by tube. The blow by tube doesn't do enough for him.
- He needs to continue to take the predisolone that Dr. Wickam prescribed on Monday.
- He has lost weight since last Monday. He is now 14 and a qtr lbs. (whatever oz that comes out to be)
- He is refusing to eat for us, only ate 9 oz yesterday, only had 3 oz from 9am-2pm today- gma is pushing for it now
- He needs to go back for sure tomorrow, Josh is going to take him in.

- We need to give him tylenol to keep him comfortable so that he's eat. He doesn't have a temp. probably just achy and sore throat.
- We are going to try pedialyte tonight, the milk may be too thick for him/makes him gag.
- We need to record everything-- diapers & kind, when eats/how much, behaviors, neb times/reactions, etc.
- We need to watch for breathing patterns, call if anything is out of the ordinary.

Grandma Denise came down today to watch him for us, Grandma Jane is doing it tomorrow.

Please send up a little (or big) prayer for him tonight.
THANKS!
