Well lil Santino is back in the IMU here at Rady Childrens Hospital. We came in yesterday for his dialysis clinic for labs and ended up going to the ER and getting admitted. He had been having some labored breathing and congestion so I knew he had a cold. His dialysis nurse thought it would be best for him to get checked out rather than go home. So we went to the ER and they kept him for breathing treatments and some suctioning.
Tino does seem to feel better w/ his treatments and suctioning of the mucus. He slept more comfortably last night than he has in a few nights. Me not so much. I'm glad he isn't too sick. They said he has bronchitis. No H1N1 or RSV. Hopefully by tomorrow he will be discharged.
He has been out of the hospital for a month. I was hoping it would be a lot longer. I'm glad he is getting the care and love that he needs here at Childrens.
