Finally out of isolation, time to cruise the halls for chicks!
Finally a smile!
You know what I love about our hospital? Room service and free wifi. Oh, you don’t care about that, you want to know about Cole. He’s doing better. He’s still coughing, but the coughing fits only last a few seconds versus hours like when he was first admitted. They are now very chunky coughs which means he’s trying to get rid of the goop that’s collected in his lungs. He’s now satting around 92 without O2 so the doctor let us take off nasal cannula. He keeps getting tangled up in all the cords, it’s a pain. His IV line kept getting kinked all night long and the IV machine would beep. Between the every 2 hour respiratory treatments, vital check ups, and IV machine beeps, not a lot of continuous sleep was had by either of us.
Cole is still lifeless. I think the last time he ate was on Tuesday. We tried to weigh him today and he couldn’t stand. We are going to lower the amount of IV fluid he’s taking in so hopefully he’ll want to drink more today. Cole is really not showing any emotion. He just lies there and stares. It’s freaking sad. I want my Crazy Cole back now! If he continues to improve, we’ll be discharged tomorrow. If he remains the same, we are probably here another couple of days.

Cole has to get home soon or he will miss the Easter Bunny.
Get better soon, buddy!
I’m so sad to see Cole is in the hospital! I hope you get discharged tomorrow and Cole is on the mend.
From my MANY hospital stays with two of mine request vitals be taken ONLY when Cole is awake. Disturbing him that much is not going to help him get better. Also ask if the RT can do blow by treatments while Cole is sleeping. This keeps from having to disturb his sleep also every two hours.
Prayers your all home for the Easter bunny!
Thinking of you, Cole! I hope you are back to Crazy Cole very soon! BTW, you are even adorable when you are sick.
I’m so glad he is starting to feel better. Just remind him he only has about another month of good outside playing before it’s too hot:) Must feel better to play at the park! Still thinking of him. I need you to email me your address. Lane made him a card. Thought he would like to recieve some mail:)
Poor Cole!! I hope he’s back up to muster VERY soon!!
Already a Starbuck addiction?!?!?!!? They are starting younger and younger! LOL!
Get better Sweet Baby (errrrr toddler) Cole. Love ya Buddy!

Get better soon, Cole!
Praying for Cole, and his continued improvement. It could be that he misses Paige, and Drew too, which is another reason for the listlessness. Nobody likes to be in the hospital, least of all kids. Thinking of you all, and praying Cole is home tomorrow!
Get better cole! Get better, get better, get better!!!
