B started sneezing and coughing during the night Sunday night. This morning they sent out a respiratory screen and this afternoon he had a chest xray. We're keeping our fingers crossed that he just has a run of the mill cold but with it being the start of RSV season the docs are concerned. So far, he's managing okay, he's just boogery and slightly tachypnic.
He also started with some yellow discharge from his G tube site yesterday. They sent off a culture for possible infection and we're waiting for those results too.
We need to get this kiddo out of the hospital. The longer he's here the more he is exposed to and he's already so weak :(
On a positive note, since his IVIG on Thursday he has gone almost 3 days before needing a transfusion. Its still not near being under control but 3 days is certainly better than EVERY day!
