Meltdown

Hello all. Chris is doing OK. Thursday was a bit rough, Chris did a lot of coughing and was uncomfortable all day and night. his dad spent Thurs night with him. we did a lot of suctioning. Chris also has a new bug he has contracted that originally came home with the soldiers when they returned home from the middle east for the first time and is very resistant to most treatment, but is treatable the only side effect for the rest of us is that we now have to wear gowns and gloves to go into Chris's room again.
yesterday and last night Chris was rather upset so the Dr gave him some meds to help. it did wonders.they also pulled his trake out just a smidge, this also seemed to help. I stayed last night with Chris. he did well today, they have had to increase his oxy level a bit , but he is pretty steady today.
Today was very difficult for Bailey, she is truly daddy's girl and today was meltdown day. i spent all day with her , i think it's helping. yesterday when i tried to take the kids in to see dad Connor went in, i picked him up then my mom put the gown over both of us and today grandpa Van Huss picked him up while he wore his own gown. Bailey would not go in either day. she is just really upset with all that is going on. grandpa Van Huss took the kids to a home depot kids function this morning then took the 3 of us to lunch at chili's. After that i took the kids to a birthday party for their friends. i think they are both feeling better tonight. after dinner i am going to go in and see Chris for a few min . All in all we are all moving forward.
