Mr. Happy Now

Brody was admitted to the St. Cloud Hospital yesterday with bronchiolitis. He is wheezing and his lungs sound crackly. He has been getting nebulizer treatments, steroids, and an antibiotic. He was on 1 liter flow of O2 over night (regularly on 1/16th) because he wasn't able breath deep enough to keep his oxygen saturations up. He was turned down to 3/4 today, so we'll see what he does over night. In order to go home, he needs to maintain his saturations at his normal oxygen level, 1/16th of a liter. We'll be here for at least a couple more days.  He has been pretty happy this afternoon, but hates his nebulizer treatments and, of course, getting his nose suctioned out.

This was Brody last night when he wasn't quite so happy.
