I really thought we were going home when I woke up yesterday morning! Alexander's night had gone great with no hiccups and the swelling in his face was gone by the time he woke up. Everything was great until he went for his chest x-ray. As we were leaving the x-ray room, Alexander's oxygen saturations were in the 50's. After hanging an oxygen mask around his neck for him to breath several times and changing out his pulse Ox cable (a bad cable can give a bad reading), it was decided that he needed the nasal cannula to be put on. After the cannula went on, it took him until this evening for his oxygen levels to finally be in his normal 75-80 range. The doctors and nurses were unsure of why his levels dropped, as each one has a different opinions. I suggested for blood to be drawn to rule our anemia, which was done last night. I haven't heard the results, so i assume all looked good. Overall, it was a very frustrating day for our Superman. With having to stay in the hospital and be limited to what he he could do (ie crawling). We managed to check out the playroom on the floor with a potable oxygen tank- that seemed to help his mood.
Last night was another uneventful night, so hopefully we get to go home this today! <3
