Hospital

I took Kaden back to the doctor on Thursday as his condition hadn't improved and he was breathing faster.When the doctor had a look at him she agreed he was working harder breathing and his pulse rate was up.She said with all his symtoms she was sending him up to the hospital.Once at the hospital we were called through almost immediatly.We were put in isolation until the could veify what was wrong with Kaden as he was showing symtoms of Swine flu.They weighed Kaden and put him on Oxygen and put a drip in his hand.They also took some mouth swabs and a gastostomy swab too.
Poor Kaden was really miserable and this is the 1st time since leaving the hospital as a baby he's needed Oxygen.His Oxygen levels were never above 95 and this is what they say they were aiming for 95 or above.With Kaden only having one good lung we werent so sure what his levels normally were but they were giong by a child with no issues.
For 2 days Kaden was kept in isolation and once the swabs came back and bloods to say he was clear of swine flu he was moved up to the medical ward.At the medical ward he was still kept on the Oxygen until he could cope without it.They had tried a few time before to wean him off completely but his levels kept coming down to 93,92 91,90 un a few time 89,88.
On Saturday night the nurse said she'd take him off the Oxygen for a while and see how he coped.I said to her i didn't think Kadens was the same a normal boys with 2 lungs as he was doing the work with just on good one...she agreed but said if it went lower than 93 they would put him back on.The level kept creeping down then back up roughly between 93-90.They kept him off and he coped well.
At the doctors rounds on Sunday they asked if we were keen to take Kaden home,which we said yes and they said although he still had a cough they'd let him home as this would clear up hopefuly shortly.So Kaden got home on Sunday on anti-biotic and seems to be improving...although we came home to another sick boy who also has a cough and cold!
The brown household has been a very sleepless one since Sunday..lol.I'm sure they will feel better soon.
