Well that morning he was grumpy and wheezing a little more, so off to the doctor we went. They checked him out and told me it sounded like RSV but most kids (95% exactly) don't need any treatment. Then she checked his oxygen level to see how his levels were and he was only at 90%. They did an asthma treatment and checked him again (this helps some kids). After that Jack was down to 83%-85% and wouldn't go up. We were there about another hour waiting and checking to see if his level would go up. They did go up to 88% but they have to be at least 90% to not get admitted to the hospital. Just Jackson's luck, never reached ninety so off we went to EIRMC (third hospital stay since 5 days old).
He spent almost 2 days there with oxygen on and off. The second night he didn't need any oxygen while he slept so we got to go home. He hated it and it was a lot harder to keep him happy when he started feeling better. He didn't want to be touched at all and doesn't like strangers (especially strangers in masks and weird clothes).He just wanted to run around, which he couldn't do because he was in isolation and the oxygen reader would go crazy. But, he made it through and is doing quite a bit better.
Jack feeling better:
But, not all better:
Of course Bo was planning on going out of town Wednesday night (which he only does maybe twice a year). He decided to leave the next morning so we could see how Jack was really doing. We knew he was going to be okay, so he left. My parents watched the kids for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Especially because the kids were sick and Hailey got really sick one day while we were at the hospital. Thanks for all of your patience and restless nights. We love you guys!
We love you so much Jack and are sorry you had to go through this. We are so happy you weren't too sick and are feeling better.

Poor little Jack! He looks so cute with his oxygen on. I can't believe he didn't pull it off. Hope all the kids get better soon.
This is Sonny. It is so sad to see little kids sick in the hospital, it always breaks my heart - I'm sure especially when it is your own. I'm glad that he is filling much better. We're really excited to see you guys in Feb.
Glad to hear you are all feeling better. Poor Jack. I can't imagine how hard it was to get him to stay mellow while at hospital...Stone would probably have to be sedated! Glad you made it through and are all feeling better.
I'm glad Jack is doing well. It's very scary when they are in the hopital and having to stay there.
When Troy was born he had to go back twice within four months, and seeing him hooked up to different tubes was scarey. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers
Sorry to hear that you had such a sick family. Hope Jack is recovering. Poor guy. The hospital is no fun.
Poor little guy...talk about bad luck. I hope everyone at your house is feeling better.
Sad to hear of you guys getting so sick. I hope life is getting better. Oh I love the theater room that the guys built! What a blast! The kid area is great and I would use the gym all the time if I could watch a movie on that big of a screen!
