MedicMom Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Still here. The baby is struggling overnights with needing oxygen. He is doing well during the day but nights seem to be tough. Caden loves looking at pictures and I want to hang them around his crib. If you want, you can send him a free ecard at https://www.arnothealth.org/arnot-ogden-medical-center/aomc-visitor. His room is 4C-14. They print them off and I can hang them around his room. Thank you for the prayers!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okra Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Oops, it doesn't seem to want to let me do it without a patient's name. Is there something that would work that we could put in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicMom Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 You should be able to just put in Caden or Caden G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Can you put him on oxygen at home? I know that adults have services that come so that they can do oxygen at home. Is there something like that for little ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MedicMom Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 So...there is a new pediatrician this morning who is willing to send us home with oxygen and monitors, if our insurance will go for it. So now we are just waiting. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

displace Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 :( I was just thinking of you. I hope he is able to get off the oxygen soon, or at least can go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicMom Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 We are home. We wound up just paying out of pocket for the home health stuff. He seems happy to be home. Thank you for the cards and pictures! I am going to hang them up by his crib at home. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Lulu* Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 So glad to hear that you are able to be home now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeghansMom Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 So thankful you are all home now. I pray that the oxygen issue clears itself up soon. Meg used to get RSV every winter. She has smaller lungs, has missing and fused ribs and had RAD. First several Christmases and New Years, sometimes her birthday too-October. She would need to be put on oxygen but she would rip the nose cannulas out, so they then would put her in a crib in an oxygen tent. Respiratory therapists would come in and suction the thickest, most copious mucus out of her little lungs. At one point they tested for CF. We had a machine that we would put capsules in and she would have to breathe it in multiple times a day. I can't remember what it is called. I think we put Albuterol in it and something else. It was a huge blessing when she overcame it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicMom Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 He keeps ripping off his cannula too. Fortunately right now he only needs it during sleep. He is on liquid albuterol, inhaled albuterol, prednisone, amoxicillin and ear drops. Plus oxygen. I will be overjoyed once we are out of cold and flu season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
