Quick update on the little man. When we woke up Monday morning we knew for sure we were goind to be admitted. He was wheezing pretty bad and just didn't look like he felt well and was super sleepy. We headed back to the ER at Childrens. They gave him a treatment and within 20 minutes we were on our way to being admitted. He is in the PICU and doing pretty well. He was diagnosed with a virus that I can't even remember, but it is in the cold family. Unfortunatley it is on the bad end of the line meaning more syptoms and longer recovery. He also has tracheitis which is an infection in his trach most likely he got it from his bacteria from the virus. He is having a ridiculous amount of secretions in his trach from all the fluid build up in his lungs. They have been doing CPT treatments (basically pounding the heck out of his back and chest with their hands) every 1-2 hours to try and break them up. It was really helping so today we started doing IPV tratments which basically is a machine that puffs quick fast puffs of air into his lungs to try and break up the secretions more. Carter loves both treatments and usually falls asleep during them. Don't ask me how because they seriously are pounding so HARD. Overall he is doing ok. Definitely not his happy usualy self. He has given us a couple smile which have been so nice. He is very tired and I think it's safe to say he is board, but when we try to play with him he is just too tired to interact. Poor baby. Now here is a ton of pics fo the cute little guy. After all tomorrow he is 11 months and deserves the blog space.
Grandma D and Carter having a sleepover.
His snugglies have been right by his face the whole time. He LOVES them.
Is that not a pathetic face. So Sad.
One of the happy faces.

The first smile we had gotten in a couple days.
Did I mention he Loves them.
Try to take his IV out. He eventually did and they kept it out.
The first day he covered his face the WHOLE day.
In the ER covering his face.
Now I NEED to work on my RS lesson which has proved to be a little bit harder under the circumstances. Ha
