the 15-month-old was in to see the doctor yesterday morning because he's been fighting a sinus infection for a couple days. doctors sent him back home at that point, but he went downhill through the afternoon (chest retractions, high fever, real lethargic). took him back to the doctor about 5 in the afternoon, and they sent him over to the hospital. took x-rays, tested for influenza and RSV and a couple other things overnight. everything came back negative this morning, so we're thinking simple bronchialitis. he's been on o2 since he was admitted, but we've been weaning him off gradually.
he should go down to room air after a nap if everything goes ok. then maybe a few hours of monitoring to make sure he's still getting enough o2, and we might get to go home tonight if all goes well.
thanks for the well wishes. we hopefully have the worst of it behind us, but it's been almost a week of this already. i'm fucking tired.
