Update
Quick update on Thomas. The good: he doesn't have pneumonia and we are still at home tonight. The bad: Thomas spent most of the afternoon at my office again today. We went up there for a pulse ox (to see how much oxygen was getting into his system) originally b/c we were occassionally noticing that he was a little dusky (blueish gray) looking around his lips. We took him in and although his pulse ox was good, he was wheezing again. After several treatments, we still couldn't get him to stop wheezing, so they started him on some oral steroids. They also started him on an antibiotic (they think he may have something bacterial as well as the virus). Then they sent us for a chest Xray, which showed no pneumonia - Praise God! Tomorrow morning Thomas has an appt with a family practice dr (we can't seem to find a good pediatrician, so he is going to see my family practice dr that I really like) to get a referral back to Dr. Rick (who I work for) so they will get paid for all they have done for us. Please pray that Thomas will sound good enough in the office tomorrow to not worry the dr. Please pray that the medications will work in the ways they are supposed to and that this RSV thing will leave us soon!! Thanks for all the prayers!

Oh my dear, we're thinking of you and praying for you in this time. I hope all will be well enough when we come, as we'd love to see you guys. How's Friday evening the 28th?
I hope that Thomas starts feeling better soon and wish you and your entire family best wishes during this Christmas holiday!
How is Thomas feeling? I am so sorry he has been sick! I think it would be fun to get the boys together when they are BOTH finally well! E-mail me.
