We were only expecting to stay one night in the hospital to make sure Cayden was breathing okay after the surgery.

The sleep study showed that he had sleep apnea and would benefit from having his tonsils removed,  So we went ahead and scheduled his surgery for both the adenoids and tonsils.  That whole part went fine and his pain is fine just the oxygen levels are a little low.  Well he isn’t breathing well enough for him to go home yet.  His stats keep dropping when he sleeps to the point that it’s concerning for them.  My one question is Cayden’s low stats may be his normal.  We don’t monitor him at home, so he may have low oxygen nightly.  We had the surgery to remove Cayden’s Adenoids originally, but prior to that had a sleep study to monitor how he slept.  

I don’t think Cayden minds the stay at all.  He gets to watch his favorite movies in bed, People are taking care of him all day.  The only downside for him is when it’s time for medicine.  In recovery he fought as hard as he could to avoid the medicine.  Now he’ll open his mouth slightly for the medicine.  

He still doesn’t have his full appetite yet.  He’s not eating the ice cream or chocolate milk like he usually does.  He also loves tortillas but didn’t really want it this morning.  That’s usually our clue he doesn’t feel well or something is wrong.  He normally breaks into the fridge at home and will walk around the house with his tortilla.  

 

He’s doing good in general, just the low oxygen that is a little concerning.  Again, we don’t monitor it at home, so this may be his normal and it’s finally being shown on the machine. If you would like to stop by just let one of us know, you can either call or text or send me a Facebook message.  Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers.
