We have had a crazy week!!! Our little boy Duke Cutler was in the hospital with RSV! I would have to say it was the horrible. I will tell the story of how it went.....
On Wednesday out little man had a cough.... Both of the older boys had it too so on Thursday I decide to call the Dr and get the baby in.... Sure enough everything was ok ... his oxegyn levels were good and he just had a cough. The Dr said it sound like it could be RSV and to get a appointment for tommorrow so the rest of the day and on Friday it was getting worse. He was having a hard time breathing and was still coughing. We went to the Dr on Friday afternoon and his oxgyen levels were at 95 which was still ok. I also got Rocky in and he had a EAR INFECTION, SIGNS OF BROCHITIS, AND A SINUS INFECTION. Poor guy so he go medicine. The Dr said if he gets worse to take him to the ER or Urgent Care.
Well Saturday he was getting a little worse. When he would eat he would cough through it and would hardly eat and want to be held all the time.
Sunday, he was getting worse. When he would breath his chest would go in a little so ... we went to my moms and she watched the older boys and James and I took him to the Urgent Care. They got us right in since he was so young and checked his oxygen levels and they were in the upper 80's and lower 90's so they did a deep suction of his nose and got all the junk out, tested him for RSV and did a x- Ray on his chest. They confirmed he had RSV and sent us Via Ambulance to the hospital. This 1st picture is the little man at the Urgent care with his oxgyen.
Then with everything on him! Poor little guy!
On Monday he was getting worse. He wouldn't eat... and he got a fever! The Dr. came in 5 min after James left and said something was wrong with his blood. He had an infection or something so they gave him antibiotics and took some more blood to see for sure what was going on.The next day they said the 1st set of blood was contaminated so his blood was just fine! What a blessing! Here is a picture of me and the baby on monday. I was so tired and looked awful, and baby Cutler looks cute even when he isn't feelin good.
By the next day he was doing better... He would eat now and was awake a little more not just sleeping 24-7. Everyday he kept getting better. By the 3rd day he was good except for he still needed a little bit of oxygen to be in the 90's.
ISn't he the cutest thing! He is getting so big! He is now 8pnds. 6 ounces!
His IV arm. When he was really bad the nurse said when they took him blood he wouldn't even cry!
He's mad at me for not holding him.
James brought the boys up to see us! They had to wear these masks! don't they look cute!
By the cafeteria they had a train village and the boys thought it was pretty cool so I had to snap a few pictures.
We got to come on Yesterday Thursday the 17th and Duke is doing AWESOME! I still have to clean out his nose before every feeding but he is doing great! I am so glad that he is all better.
