Home (briefly)

Yesterday afternoon, Ayden stayed off oxygen, his ins and outs were good (i.e., the diuretics were working), so early in the evening, we took him home.  Unfortunately, his stay was rather brief.  Allison is taking him back as I type this.

His oxygen levels stayed acceptable overnight and into this morning.  Indeed, the last time I checked them earlier in the morning, he was above 80 consistently, which is great.  Later, Allison noticed Ayden was breathing more rapidly than normal.  We checked his sats again and they were low.  And stayed low.

So, back to the hospital he goes.  I'm guessing this is a fluid retention issue.  The first thing that will probably be done upon his arrival is an x-ray, which will either confirm or deny my suspicion.

Please keep Ayden in your prayers.
