9 days in the hospital and counting....
Jacob is still in the hospital. His pneumonia has cleared up, but he is having other issues with his lungs that they have to stabilize before he can go home. He is on a high flow of oxygen and they can't send him home on that, so we will be here until they can successfully wean his oxygen needs back down. While here, Jacob has managed to pull his feeding tube out twice and keep all the nurses busy with his 'episodes'-where he drops his O2 saturation levels real low and they have to give him an extra "boost" of oxygen. They are also evaluating him for seizures, as they suspect that may be part of his 'episodes'.

That sounds really tough. I hope things improve soon.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I ask why they expect that he might be having seizures?
Hang in there!
I'm sorry to hear that Jacob's still in the hospital but glad to hear that his pneumonia is clearing. Those "episodes" sound scary. We'll be praying for you guys.
