short pneumonia stay @ Children's

Well, Lars has been inpatient at Children's Hospital Boston since Friday. Spiked a temp Wednesday evening, home sick Thursday, & by Friday morning was really not well. Went to his pediatrician who sent us to the ER & from there he was admitted with pneumonia. Some scary moments when his blood oxygen saturation levels dropped very far very rapidly, but he got oxygen & albuterol nebulizers & IV antibiotics & eventually stabilized. Hoping to go home tomorrow, Wednesday. Only lingering problem is he continues to require oxygen at night, so we're bringing it home with us. Hospital bed delivered @ home today, which will help especially with further respiratory issues. Grateful for Children's & totally looking forward to going home.
