Matthew came to Denver with Jesse and me on Thursday. Matthew had been having problems breathing since Tuesday (due to asthma and a cold). From Wednesday night to Thursday morning he was getting worse, and the albuterol inhaler only helped a little and for a short time, so since our doctor is closed on Thrusdays, I took him to the ER at Children's. He was given a couple of nebulizer treatments and steroids. Later in the afternoon they did an x-ray and said he had a small area on pneumonia in his right lung, so they also prescribed an antibiotic. While he was in the ER, Aunt Kelly came to stay with him while I took Jesse to his hearing test, which he passed. Matthew is doing much better now, but still has a cold, which I have come down with, and I think Collin might be too.
Jesse went to his 2 appointments on Friday. He has been having what we think might be small seizures so he will be getting an EEG soon, and they would like him to see a pulmonologist to investigate the respiratory issues. Dr. Ivy would like they issues addressed before his heart cath on October 7th. Jesse is growing well, and up to 19 pounds 5 ounces. The worst news was that his echo was worse when he is not on oxygen, so Dr. Ivy would like him on oxygen 24 hours a day (earlier he had said short times for baths, playing outside, etc. were ok.)
Chad & I took the boys to the Rockies game last night, which they won, and then we saw a fabulous fireworks display! Chad went home late last night so he could be there to bale hay today, and I'll be heading home soon with all the boys. Then it looks like I'll be coming back next week or the week after for more tests/appointments. I did tell the doctors we couldn't be here next Friday since its Jesse's birthday!!!
I'll post again when I have more information.
