Here we are again, back in the hospital for pneumonia. When I picked Gage up from daycare on Friday he was having a hard time breathing even after they had just given him his inhaler. So I took him home and watched him for a little while and decided that I would take him to the after hours clinic at big baptist. I figured all he needed was another updraft and he would be okay but by the time we got back to see the doctor he was working really hard to breathe so they decided to do another set of chest x-rays. That is when we found out that he had pneumonia again. This time it was in the part of his lung that was clear last time.
So they admitted us to big baptist and the next day when they told me it would be a few more days I asked to be transferred to Springhill since that is where we were last time and we already knew all the staff and his pediatrician was here. So about 1:00 am Sunday morning we arrived here at Springhill and immediately there was a crowd of 6 nurses and staff in here talking to Gage. They all remembered him from his first visit and of course Gage just flirted with all of them and again they were wrapped around his finger.
Today the doctor said that we may be able to go home as long as he can hold his own off the oxygen. So as I sit here typing this Gage is sleeping and is doing okay without the oxygen so far. I hope and pray that he gets better and we are able to go home soon and even though I love all of the staff and nurses up here I hope that the next time we see them is a visit when he feels much better.
