In the ER

Becky took Titus to the ER at Medical City this morning. Between 4:30am and 6:30am this morning, he was just not keeping his Oxygen SATs above 90. They just hovered between 88 and 90 even after xopenex and pulmicort treatments. By 6am we had turned his oxygen up to 2.5 liters and at that point, we knew it was time to go.

He's not running a fever, but you can tell he's just tired. And with his lungs they way they are, he doesn't need to be struggling to breathe. He actually had a good day yesterday, was fever-free all day, and slept soundly last night. Becky was up with him at midnight to give him a breathing treatment, but until 4:30am this morning, he was doing fine.

When Becky arrived at the ER, they were able to take him back immediately. And, we have the same nurse and respiratory therapist that we had last time (which is always good). They have inserted an IV (on the first try - which is a huge answer to prayer) and are running bloodwork and cultures right now.

Please pray for the following items:
  • The doctors will diagnose what's going on and be able to provide immediate treatment
  • Titus' breathing will improve
  • The pneumonia in his lung will clear up
  • Rest and peace for Becky and I

I'll post more information as we found out more today.
