Still in the hospital

Looks like we'll be here at least until tomorrow. He is starting to sound better and he has been coughing a lot less. He's getting breathing treatments of Xopenex every 3 hours and he's getting ora-pred, by mouth, twice a day. Overnight, his oxygen was turned down from 1 litre to .5 litres and he is still maintaining his O2 sat. When the pediatrician came in this morning, she tried to turn it down more and his sat dropped. We're going to try to turn it down a little bit more and hopefully before tonight, we can take out the cannula and monitor him overnight.
I miss being home and I'm sure Riley feels lost without Addison. Ian has been holding down the fort at home and they seem to be helping and not getting too crazy.
Riley just woke up, I'll update again if there's any new news.

Lots of hugs and prayers are being sent from over here. I check your blog and think of you and your boys almost daily.

I hope that Riley continues to improve and you are all home together soon!
