Good News for Beckett

I have not been good about blogging for awhile but wanted to update what has happened with my youngest. Beckett was put on continuous oxygen back in mid August after being hospitalized for low oxygen saturations and high fever. We had weekly pulse oximeter readings each week through mid October with no change, saturations were in the 78-88% range. So our doctor, being as discouraged as we were, referred us to Children's hospital in Denver. We went up there on October 20th and the doctors we saw were amazing. They started with an echocardiogram and reviewing chest xrays. Heart and lung problems were quickly ruled out and so we focused on his nasal area. The doctor we saw hypothesized that he has airway obstructions, not really sure what that would be. He thinks mostly likely adenoids. He prescribed some steroid drops and told us to keep everything else the same. Which meant we had to keep the oxygen around that we were so hoping to get rid of. We did three weeks of the steroids and then did an overnight pulse ox. Beckett had saturations over 90% (our goal), 98% of the night. So we now as of November 12th, almost exactly 3 months after starting it, took him off the oxygen. Yay!!! We have to keep him on all his medications for at least 6 months as we are not completely cleared of everything. In fact, our doctor said to be prepared to be back at square one if Beck should get sick again. Ugh! So we are praying for healthy days!!!
