Pneumonia it is!

So thanks to trusting my instincts, Yale has the beginning of pneumonia with a little "junk" in his right lung (the one that works). However since there is no fever, and he's eating fine, we got to come home with a weeks worth of antibiotics, and some ventalin(puffer). Also they gave him a dose of steroids, because his raspy voice would lead one to think croup, but he doesn't have the barky cough. I had to laugh though. Triage was completely empty and only one patient in paeds emerg when we got there. and the place was packed when we left... phew! only 4 hours, and one chest x-ray and we got to come home! YAY!

Oh, and the kid got spoiled for his birthday at emerg. a box of mega bloks, some little people, and a whole bunch of stickers! OH ya, and no admission, he gets to send his second birthday at HOME! YAY!!!

Off to Emerge with little man

The last few days Yale has been quite noisily breathing, and has had a dumb cough. Its been about 4 days with no sign of improvement so I thought I'd take him in. His voice is VERY raspy, and his throat looks inflamed, so on the safe side, I'll take him in, and pray his sats are fine so I can come home tonight!

Keep us in your thoughts, I'll update when I get home.

Merry Christmas!!!!

Our very First Christmas spent at home, as a family! With an amazing year behind us, we say a very heartfelt thankyou to the donor family. May the future be Merry and Bright!

someone asked me....

What I love about my kid.... (its a forum thing)

this was my answer.

I love how awesome Yale is. He's cool, and he knows it. LOL. he has his dad's charisma, thats for sure. th guy doesn't even have many words yet, but like dad, can have you laughing and at ease at the worst times! lol.

Oh and of course I love how strong he is. I live with the definition of a fighter. and the best part is, the little part of the world he got to see, he felt was worth it! he's fought for every single second of his life, and now that he feels well, he's living it! he's up to do anything... never holds back, is very rarely shy, and always smiling.

What do you love about your kids?

Yale growing up

So Yale's OT and I have been working on his feeding issues. I just took this video of him so that she could actually see him eat, since he only wants to play during visits. Check it out.

Random Act of Kindness

A friend of mine has started a group for what I have wanted to do in honor of Yale's Donor and Donor Family. December 10th I've suggested we all do some little kind things for strangers, in honor of the HUGE thing the donors did for us! Please join and invite everyone you know to join too! Its the least we can do! and we can get some good karma flowing. Oh and don't forget if you don't know something you can do... you cal always sign up to become an organ donor and don't forget to tell your loved ones!

Thanks so much!
