Off to the Hospital

Titus has been having apnea issues all day. He had one bad episode last night, but brought his breathing back up and was fine the rest of the night. But he's had 2 this morning and 2 this afternoon, and after consulting with the doctors, they think it best he come in and spend the night for observation.

During an episode, his oxygen saturations levels drop due to shallow breathing. This means he is not getting enough oxygen in his blood stream. If low levels are sustained, this is incredibly dangerous. Usually, we can wake Titus up and he recovers quickly. But last night took a few minutes. And, Titus is still on oxygen, so these are pretty serious episodes when they occur.

It very well could be due to the fever and rash and combination of meds he is on, but all we know right now is that Beck and her mom are headed back to Medical City.

Your prayers will be appreciated.
