Aidan's Hospital Stay



Aidan was admitted to the hospital on Tuesday for respiratory complications from his GERD. We just came home this evening. He has coxsackie virus and all the blisters in his throat caused him to not eat or drink for days. He was given IV fluids for dehydration and steriods for his respiratory distress from the GERD. He suffered some acute life threatening events while on the monitors where he had long pauses in breathing. The steriods seemed to help as he didn't do it again after they were administered. They gave him some meds to help heal his throat and hopefully help him resume eating. He is completely hoarse and they say that is from the GERD and we have to take it up with the GI who is currently out of town. So please keep us in your prayers that Aidan will start to feel better soon and start eating again. We will keep you posted when we are finally able to talk to the GI.
