Happy Thoughts for Happy

Looks like I posted about an hour too early last night. After I put the computer away, Amy tried to feed Happy, who subsequently blorphed the little he had taken, plus most of what he had taken his previous feeding. When we changed him, he hadn't wet, and we got thinking that he hadn't had one in "a while," mostly likely 5-6 hours. We took his temp, and it was between 99-100, so we called the pediatrician, who told us to take him to the ER at Childrens' Hospital. So, about 12:30A this morning, we got him checked out. The ER doctor told us that he likely just had a cold, to feed him less formula but more often, and to check in with urgent care this afternoon for more tests in case something else was going on. He spent most of the day sleeping until we went to urgent care, and only took about 5 oz of formula in the 10 hours we were home (he usually takes 4 oz in a feeding every 3 hours). The urgent care doctor took an x-ray and did a test for Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). The x-ray was negative for pneumonia, but the RSV test came back positive, so she recommended that he be admitted to Childrens'. So, about 3P today, we checked him in. He's been officially diagnosed with BSV, bronchiolitis, and dehydration. He's on an IV to help with the dehydration, and Amy just called and told me he's on oxygen, as his blood oxygen levels had dropped. Hopefully, by tomorrow, the rehydration will have helped with his appetite and we can get everyone back home. We'll keep you informed...
