Currently we're about 1 day into a 2-4 day run with the main body of RSV. They have told us in no uncertain terms that his respiratory condition will likely get worse before it gets better. We are in the days to weeks to discharge range, it all depends on which way Tyler goes.
The adventure began in April of 2008 when Sharron's water broke at 24 weeks, then kicked into high gear at 28 weeks when Tyler was born. Now Tyler is a toddler and loving life.

Long but quiet night.
It was my turn to sit with Tyler in his room through the night. Thankfully it was pretty quiet. Only a few alarms and most were self inflicted (Tyler pulling his mask off). He is not critical but still a sick little pup. At the moment he's needing 70% oxygen and Albuterol every other hour to keep his oxygen levels in place. He's had a few small coughing fits which should be a sign of what's to come. Now that he is on fluids the gunk in his lungs will start to loosen up and start to move around. Hopefully we can keep it moving and prevent Pneumonia.
