Oh Boy.

Oliver is in the hospital right now. This is just a quick post to give an update so the story is out there the right way. Oliver went in Wednesday because he was having trouble breathing and oxygen levels were dropping. We got in and his O2 sats were in the 70s (should be 98-100 for us, 92-100 for Oli). All lab work came back normal but they admitted us due to his oxygen issues. They had him on 24 hour EEG and of course he had no events. We were going to follow up with one of the doctors to figure out why he was having episodes where he would turn blue but they sent us home. I was very defeated Friday because we did not resolve anything and I was frustrated that the doctors didn't really seem to believe me that it was happening. Oh well. Oliver was happy Friday night and laughing and playing with his sisters. He went to bed and ten minutes later had a huge seizure and another and another. We gave him his emergency meds that always stop them but this time they didn't. I called and they said to get in asap. Back to the Regions ER(because Gillette doesn't have an ER) and transferred to Gillette PICU. Thankfully they saw his episodes this time. I obviously was not happy it was happening, but happy they saw it. The PICU doc and neurologist and many nurses saw the multiple seizures and oxygen desats. Sometimes when the doctors don't actually see it happening they don't really believe it. So now we try and figure this out. Is he dropping O2 because of seizures or is there a change in his brain. He will have an MRI tomorrow that hopefully gives us some answers. Here are some pics of hospital stay and other random things. We will let you know whats going on. I didn't proof read this, I'm tired and Johns not home to do it. Sorry for any typos.

Adina misses her brother, she has been snuggling him up big time. She was about to go trick or treating but she needed to play a game with Oli first.



Halloween party at Gillette. Who knew being in the hospital could be so fun. It is the best hospital ever!


Oli all hooked up to the 24 hour EEG. He is so cute. This was the day before he crashed.
