poor baby


So I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine Day. We spent ours back in the hospital. Griffin had a runny nose on Wednesday and I took him to the Doctor Thursday morning because he was having a hard time breathing. So we got there and we were sent to the ER, I decided to take him to Phoenix Children this time because we had a bad experience at the last hospital we were at for this same issue. Poor guy, usually they can hear where the wheezing in his lungs is but it was so bad that they couldn't hear any air moving in his lungs at all. So after 4 straight hours of breathing treatments and 12 hours in the ER they admitted us and we found our way to a room at 1 in the morning. Luckily he recovered much quicker than last time, the last time was 7 days and this was only 2 days, but there are still so many frustrations that I am working through. They want Griffin to take some different meds that he has taken before that greatly affected him in terms of his appetite and personality so we took him off those, and we were told we were wrong that they don't have that affect even though there is research that we found to back up how Griffin reacted to it. I will be taking that up with his doctor at his follow up and looking for alternatives other than pouring endless amounts of medicines in his little body. We also get the answer of his problems are what they are instead of why this happens to him and what is going on in his body to react this way. So we will see. Thankfully, Grandma and Papa helped out with McKenna since she wasn't allowed in the hospital with the RSV restrictions, and because they bring cool presents everytime he is in the hospital...so hopefully he will work his way back up the healthy ladder.
