Cutepicsand then an update on Aaron

Thanks to my sister who posted these pics for me, you can see how cute our surprise for my parents came out.We had pics of all three boys taken a couple weeks back for their anniversary and mother's day and father's day. The boys were so well behaved and the pictures turned out great.
Poor Aaron, he had no idea what to do with himself. And I give Charlie alot of credit...he's never held him without a boppy and thought it was crazy to hold him like this!
Below is my favorite of my boys...

Another precious one...

And here's little Bode, being the little Hawaiian man that he is. So cute!
Next topic, our memorial day weekend at the beach. It was alot of fun, but because of what's going on with Aaron, I don't have the time or energy to post all about it, so I'll give you some pics that my sister put up, and just leave it at...we had fun!



Me singing Bode to sleep...then Mike came in and hyped him up again.

Me snuggling my little guy who was not acting like himself Sunday and Monday, little did I know what it would turn into!
Out to dinner Sunday night and Aaron was MISERABLE!


Cousins being cute
This was after Christy and my mom and I ran a 5K race. Christy did great, I did less than 30 minutes (barely), and my mom was amazing. It felt good to run in a race again...my first since the marathon.
So, onto Aaron. He was acting off on Sunday and Monday. Breathing worse than he normally does, not eating as much, occasional cough, sweating profusely, and MISERABLE. Long story short, I took him to the ER monday afternoon when we got home from the beach. And here we are, admitted once again. Oh my, I am tired of this. I want to be home with him...I don't want to sleep here...I don't want to have to call out of work because I am in the ER with my 11 week old boy.

So, he got a full sepsis panel done in the ER...all fine. He had an EKG which showed LVH...a repeat also showed the same. His liver is enlarged...one of his liver enzymes is elevated...he was completely inconsolable in the ER...so they started thinking meningitis. His chest Xray was okay, no fever, tachycardic and tachypneic and coughing but 100%saturations. They admitted us because he looked like something wasn't quite right. This morning at 6am,he spiked a temp that went to 103, and then 104 after tylenol. He's been sleepy and not eating most fo the day, and although his fever went down to 100.5, it's back upto 104 now.

He had an airway xray that showed a tissue mass on his airway so tomorrow he's having an airway floroscopy to check for hemangiomas or other obstructions. They sent viral tests, all negative. They sent blood cultures and urine cultures, all negative. They are now considering an LP...I don't know when that will happen. ENT came and did a scope at the bedside and saw he was refluxing badly despite his meds and watched him apsirate small amounts of his milk. I guess being sick can worsen reflux...Cardiology is being consulted because of the LVH finding on two EKG's.
Sorry if this is all jumbled but I am tired and don't have a ton of time to get this down. His room is way down the hall from the computer lounge and I hate leaving him. They are nice here but I'm finding myself asking the nurses to cluster his care more which annoys me. Don't wake a sleeping baby to take his vitals...he gets meds in 1 hour...get his vitals then...that sort of stuff. Once again, I miss Charlie and Alex and this all just freakin sucks. My family also lost a close friend suddenly on Monday which is just aweful. We will miss you Clarence! That's all for now. I'll post tomorrow when I know the results of some more things. Please pray that Aaron is fine and that we are all together again soon! Thanks...
