Griffin update...

Hey, Just wanted to let all you know that Griffin was able to come home Saturday night. He is maintaining his oxygen level at 92% on his own and just taking it easy this week. We are going to see a pediatric pulmonologist at St. Joe's on February 13. He did have one at Phx Children's but we weren't happy with the lack of effort in trying to treat him, so we are reaching out and finding "new eyes" to try to figure out what is causing these crazy bouts of pneumonia. We will keep you all updated. Tim and I just want to thank all you for your love, support and prayers for our family and Griffin.

Griffin round 9...

As a mom I feel so frustrated writing this. Griffin was admitted for the ninth time last night in to the hospital. He started having breathing problems Sunday and we took him to the ER on Monday morning. He was admitted on four liters of oxygen and his oxygen level was 96%, by 10:00 last night he had almost a 104 fever and they had to up him to 6 liters to keep him above 90. By this morning he had a chest x-ray to confirm that he had pneumonia and they begun antibiotics, but had to increase his oxygen to 7 liters. He will most defiantly be there for the remainder of the week to just get him to room air. The normal criteria for him to go home is sleep through the night on room air and his breathing treatment to be every 4-6 hours. Right now he is on 7 liters and his breathing treatments are every 2 hours. Please pray for Griffin to stay strong and for his lungs continue to grow stronger, and for us to keep his spirits up and find rest to also be there for McKenna...

For my little man...

Happy Birthday my love.

Your strength and courage never cease to amaze me. You are intelligent beyond your years. Your kind heart and loving spirit makes me proud to be your mama. I can't get enough of your dimples and blue eyes. I just can't get enough of you... I hope your 4th birthday was as wonderful as can be!
