Pneumonia

Owyn has pneumonia.  Fortunately we got him in to the Dr early.  Drugs, drugs and more drugs. 

Tracy got a call at work on Friday, "Owyn can't breath".  She rushed down to pick him up and his breathing was very labored, he was coughing his guts out, he had a fever and he just looked miserable.  She got him home and gave him a nebulizer treatment and some Motrin for the fever.

I got home not long after them, about 1300, and Owyn upstairs for a nap.  He ended up falling asleep on me so I took a bit of a nap too, until he was asleep enough that I could put him in his crib without waking up.

His appointment was at 1530, which turned into 1630.  Tracy and Owyn took another little nap in the waiting room.  They put the O2 monitor on him, which he hated, and were very concerned about his low oxygen levels.  They were on the way to the hospital, though the Dr didn't tell Tracy that. 

Fortunately, they decided to give Owyn another breathing treatment, which opened him up enough to get his O2 levels up to where they are supposed to be.  Prescriptions in hand Tracy was able to bring him home.

It was early to bed, after yet another breathing treatment, for Owyn and Rhys, who has also been under the weather this week.  I had to give Owyn some more motrin in the middle of the night but, happily, no more breathing treatments. 

He was feeling much better this morning, though he has still not been himself today.  Hopefully he is up to Easter tomorrow.  I'm just pleased that he is feeling better.
