Colton Hospital

Oh dear what a terrible last couple weeks.  Colton was sick Saturday, February 11th once I got home form the Fit for life challenge at Manga Center for Heart and Stroke.  So I gave him Advil for fever.  Sunday morning he was not any better so I took him to York Central Walk in.  They gave me a steroid for clearing up his chest cause he was wheezy.  Still had fever so dosed him again.  then Monday he went to Karen's for daycare, didn't get any better then at night he kept waking up coughing and unrest ed so Tuesday February 14th, I took him to the hospital.  Well after being there for 9:30am, 2 hours later i got results back he had Pneumonia cause from RSV ( Respiratory syncytial virus)

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that leads to mild, cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. It can be more serious in young babies, especially to those in certain high-risk groups.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

RSV is the most common germ that causes lung and airway infections in infants and young children. Most infants have had this infection by age 2. Outbreaks of RSV infections most often begin in the fall and run into the spring.

The infection can occur in people of all ages. The virus spreads through tiny droplets that go into the air when a sick person blows their nose, coughs, or sneezes.

He was admitted with level 5 oxygen and IV with antibiotics and He had to have mask every 4 hours, his oxygen was brought down slowly up until Thursday.   Which his had was getting puffy from the IV.  So the nurse took off the oxygen and the IV and we got to bath him. I was so happy to get all that stuff off of him. This older lady at the hospital kept giving Colton a hand made duck that he pushed and a teddy bear and a truck.  Oh she was a wonderful women.  Have to do something for her soon.
