The Details

I figured I should writer a more detailed post of what went on this week not only for my readers but for myself as well. I want to tell Aiden about all of this later and wan  to write it while it is still relatively fresh in my mind.


On Monday night I dropped Connor off of at Grandma's since we needed to get to the hoe early the next day. My big guys nerves were on edge ans he ended up throwing up. This was definitely rough on him! He continued to complain about being sick until we all got home. He's fine now!

After dropping him off we went to bed early since we needed to be up at four. A had different plans he decided to ask  up at one wanting a bottle at that point he coil  only have clear liquids ans when I have them to him he was mad. Daddy ended up sitting with him the remainder of the night while I tried to sleep. Needless to say we did not get much sleep. I got the most so drove to the hospital that morning. Took an hour and half to get through pre  open. A was overall calm the whole time. We did have some surprised nurses when they learned he was set up for both a Cath and possibly surgery after. Apparently that's not normal.

Now the main reason they were unsure if a Cath would work is because he is such a little guy and the hole is really big. Dr Grey felt there was a good chance to fix the hole and wan to try. He was taken back at 7:45 for the Cath. He was very calm the whole time and did not cry when I handed him over to the nurse. His calmness helped this mom a lot! We were given a beeper and after eating headed up to the waiting room. The Cath was actually pretty fast the beeps went off just before ten.

And a new thing to deal with

So over the weekend Aiden started to have coughing fits. On Saturday night it got to the point that he started crying hard due to it, had trouble breathing and then threw up his whole bottle. Sunday more coughing attacks another bad one on Sunday we were able to calm him before it got to bad. Made the decision after that last cough attack that I would be calling the Pediatrician and making a ASAP appointment and calling work that I may not be making it to work. Didn't sleep well this weekend that's for sure.

first off he now weighs 12 pounds 14 ounces.. that's 4 ounces since Thursday. I was really worried he would loose weight because of the coughing attacks but nope! Such relief with that part! Now his Doc concluded that he was not sick.. which I figured and the coughing has to be due to one of two things. Either reflux is causing the congestion or coughing or asthma. Hubby and many of his family members have asthma so it is possible but really hoping for reflux, it is more likely to go away as he gets older. We are treating both. While there we did a breathing treatment and it did seem to help.

So he is now back on Zantac to help with the reflux and we now have  nebulizer in case he gets bad. His Doctor wants us to have one in case he gets sick he made need it. Its definitely good thing to have.  Here's hoping this all helps him
