Somehow Noah got influenza A and it soon went into pneumonia. We took him to the emergency room on Thursday.
We soon learned that he had low blood pressure and the infection had gone septic.
He was again prepped for a flight to the Cleveland Clinic.
We made it to the Cleveland Clinic in 25 minutes.
He was taken to the PICU.
He was settled in for the night on 4 liters of oxygen.
His Daddy arrived around 11:30pm. thank goodness he brought his weighted blanket. It really helped a lot.
The next afternoon Noah was stable enough that he was moved to the regular floor.
On Saturday night Noah's blood pressure went up and he was needing oxygen again. We told the doctors that we really felt that Noah's problem was that he was constipated. They really didn't believe us at first but we explained to them that Noah always gets constipated when he is on antibiotics. Sure enough.... they finally listened to us and gave him an enema and boy did he go.......
Sunday evening marked 72 hours in the hospital and Noah had only slept 2 of those hours. We are all so tired. When I was telling Noah goodnight, I told him that if he had a good night sleep he could go home tomorrow. It wasn't long and he was fast asleep. I told the nurses that I didn't want them bother him all night because he needed sleep badly.
Finally by 1:30 the next afternoon we were on our way home.
