We came home from the hospital on Friday evening. Thursday the doctor said that as long as he stays above 95 on his oxygen level that he doesn't need it. So he has been oxygen free since Thursday. I think that the breathing treatments and the steroids are helping that. We spent a total of 4 days in the hospital. He lost a pound in a week and he still has diarrhea pretty bad. So now he has a diaper rash. We where really trying to prevent that by putting a and d oinment on his bottom but he still got one. Me and John are pretty tired from our stay in the hospital. John stayed there even though he had to work every day. I have to take him to the doctors on Monday to see if he is doing ok. I really hope so because I don't want to go back in the hospital but I know that if he has to, he has to. I took a couple of pics while we where there so they are below. Well I need to get some things done. I will update soon. Love and Hugs.

Quick update
Little John was put into the hospital on Tuesday. He has baby bronchitis and pneumonia on one side. Today he is doing good and may be coming home tomorrow. He does have a bad case of diarrhea from the virus. He's been keeping me up a lot. I was up for 48 hours with six hours sleep. I was giving him breathing treatments every two hours. I will write more when we are home. We just stopped by the house to take a quick shower. I don't like to leave him up there for long. I hope all is well with everybody.

ER VISIT
Me and John just got back from the ER. Little John had a cough for a couple of days but today it got worse and he wasn't eating. He had gotten sick this morning. It was so bad that I was sitting on the bed with him and it projected out of him on to the wall. He eat a total of two ounces all day. They did x-rays of his chest, a ultrasound of his stomach, did blood work and checked him for R.S.V. The ultrasound was to make sure he didn't have a blockage in his stomach which he didn't thank god. He didn't have R.S.V. either which that was a big relief. But he does have a upper respiratory infection. He is taking pedalite and he has a doctors appt. in the morning. He also got a breathing treatment while he was there. He is also on 1/4 oxygen which is more than what he came home from the nicu on. He's supposed to get his R.S.V. shot tomorrow but now we don't know if he can since he is sick. I will update the website tomorrow when we get back from the doctors. His appt. is at 10:30 in the morning. If it wasn't for him having a doctors appt in the morning he would have had to stay in the hospital. So pray for our little guy to get better soon. I also put a couple more picks on here that I took two days ago. Well Im tired, so I better get some sleep before baby boy gets me up soon.

PICTURES
Little John is doing good. Last night when I was doing his therapy with him he was tracking objects. YEA LITTLE JOHN!!! It really was the first time that he was doing this. He weighs a whooping 8 pounds and 2 ounces but that was from two weeks ago. He goes back to the doctors on Monday so I'm sure that he weighs more than that. He turned five months (one month adjusted) on the 3rd. His physical therapist says that he is where he is suppose to be. The only problem is and it stems from the nicu is that he only wants to lay on his right side. He had a lot of problems with his left lung. So now he has low muscle tone on his left side of his neck and shoulder. So me and John have to make him lay on his left side. And we also do some exercises with him also. I hope that you guys like the pictures of little John that we took. Make sure to look at all on them down below. hugs and kisses.
