Cant breathe? How about another night or two in the hospital?

Nancy's still in the hospital and I haven't been down there since Tuesday. But here's the update from what I know.

Gabe had some trouble breathing in the evening yesterday - similar to the symptoms he had when this whole deal started. The doctors quicly gave him an inhaler type treatment for the throat swelling and lung tightness. They also gave him another dose of the steroid to further attack the swelling. Thankfully he responded very well to that!

Last Sunday, when Gabe and I took that fatefull trip to the ER, he did not respond well to these measures and he was then intubated. So at least we're not going back where we started. But needless to say it scared Nancy and needless to say we're not likely or anxious to leave the hospital. We'd like to have Gabe completely steroid free, pnuemonia free, with great oxygen levels, before leaving the hospital.

My folks have been keeping Nancy and Gabe company - thanks Mom! Thanks Dad! Dad tricked all the doctors in the room yesterday into thinking that he'd lost his front teeth as a part of being intubated and that he wasn't very happy about it - April Fools! Not sure if the doctors appreciated that, I think it was funny for Gabe.

He got a load of cards from the kids in Brynn's class - bet that was fun! Also had a friend named Max visit who gave him a cool watch so that he can watch the time fly before he get's out of there.

He's eating better - walking on his own - doing physical therapy. As long as we can avoid another breathing issue we'll be fine.

That's all for now.
