| Aiden in the hospital Aiden in the hospital about 1.5 weeks before his second birthday for something between a virus and asthma. He is mostly enjoying his stay |
While we have Aiden’s breathing improved. He’s still labouring. We’ve also got him on treatments that tend to race the heart a little. That’s right… vibrating toddler. So much fun.
The Doctor’s opinion is that Aiden is going to be getting a room at Chez-Healthmart tonight.
That way we can monitor how things are doing for him.
I will post a phone number on a fairly tight filter. I can also be reached via cell and IM this evening.
More as we know more.
Thank you for the well wishes
Some of you may notice, I’m not performing Mass today as planned.
aiden_freeman had a very bad night with his breathing. Coughing throughout the night and a lot of laboured breathing.
Our standard routine for this is to bring him into the hospital for evaluation. They give him a stronger treatment of Albuterol… Do X-Rays to check for Pneumonia, and then discharge him once the treatment has started to kick in.
The usual procedure is to continue the Albuterol and apprise his pediatrician if things get worse. Normally, this does the trick.
Today however, the treatment began to wear off as we were leaving the hospital. It’s not supposed to do that.
Within an hour he was back to the state he was in this morning. Heavy wheezing, laboured breathing… and now there was a fever.
We headed back to the hospital and I put the call into the pediatrician. We also pulled jonah777 who’d been on standby since the first hospital alert this morning.
Hospital clocked him in at 101ยบ F. Which is enough to have us doing more to check.
He’s since been given more Albuterol. And some Tylenol and some steroid. This may take 4-6 hours.
Current prognosis is that he may get himself his first overnight stay at the hospital.
We’ll keep people posted… And I’ll be online via the usual mechanisms.
I want to know how this wiring works between father and son.
Since having “A” I have discovered that I am an absolute pawn to media over small children.
Commercials with them make me contemplate the product. Movies with them make me defensive.
And don’t get me started about Mufasa’s death scene in “Lion King”
Recently, I’ve been watching “The Guild” – this is the program that effectively inspired “Dr. Horrible” to be made.
The basic plot is a series of “Insert your favourite WoW like game” addicts trying to interact with the real world.
The irony is not without merit, but it was really hard for me to enjoy this over time due to a need for suspending not only disbelief but also resigning some core issues that have developed as a parent.
I suppose it just goes too far into the realm of “Look how disfunctional online game addiction can make you.”
To be honest I absolutely resent two of the characters, have no pity for the rest, and can not even laugh at the jokes about children. I don’t know if I can make it through more episodes after numbers 6 and 7.
Don’t get me wrong. I salute them for the work done on this guerilla project. It’s amazing and a great step for independent-made-for-internet entertainment. I’m just personally not entertained.
I used to have a very macabre sense of humour. Verging on warped, twisted, and actually broken in 3 places likely needing a permanent pin.
But each episode just makes me more an more uncomfortable.
What happened to my sense of humour?
