Unfortunately, Jacob ended up needing to be admitted to the hospital. He wasn't able to maintain his oxygen saturation. They get worried when kids drop and stay below 94% and he was sitting around 91% after neb treatments. So, it was decided he should go into the hospital for more aggressive therapy and constant monitoring. They had a repiratory thereapist working with him doing nebs and lung checks. We were only there for about 8 hours, and then he was maintaining well enough that we could bring him home. Now he's on albuterol nebs every 3 hours (as needed) and steroid nebs 2x day. I'm not sure how long he'll have to be on the steroids. Ryan was on for 8 months before he was able to stop them. Jake's still not feeling great, that's obvious, but he's starting to breath easier.
Thank you to our friends and family who helped out at the last minute and helped us pull through this.
I hope we can all start to get healthy now and move on with our regular lives. This being sick all the time isn't much fun, especially for the boys.
