It's not been the easiest week. The hospital discharged us, but Ivan's breathing was still pretty fast, and kept us all on high alert. We had a follow-up appointment with our pediatrician on Monday. Ivan weighed in at 10 lbs even, but was pretty worked up by the time the doctor came in. Luckily the doctor was able to hear Ivan's breathing at the worst. He was a little concerned about the breathing, but said his lungs sounded great. We planned to come back the following Monday, and would do another chest X-ray if his breathing hadn't improved!
Now, at the end of the week, I can report that has breathing has improved. SIGNIFICANTLY! Praise Jesus! This has been a huge relief for this Mama! His lungs just needed a little more time to heal.
Our other concern, is that he has what sounds like a bit of a cold. We actually bumped up his doctor's appointment to Friday, because he would wake up in the night, with a wheeze and sounding all stuffed up. He would still breathe fine, but we didn't want to chance anything moving down into his lungs. Our doctor went ahead and did the chest X-ray and the lungs looked clear. Hopefully his nose will clear up, too!
We saw lots of family on Saturday, and my Mom stayed with us one more night. Then Nana came and stayed with us for two more days. We have definitely been taken care of.
Meeting Granny for the first time.
Jason has been home all week too, and will go back to work this coming Wednesday. The boys have been soaking up this time. Us being gone for ten days and taking Ivan with us has definitely had an affect on them. However, they were in good hands and are bouncy back quickly. And I'll definitely take all the extra hugs and snuggles.
And speaking of all that time with Dad, I put him to work too! Here's the start of my staircase gallery wall!
