The scare...

Madden gave us quite a scare Friday morning. We had to call 911 around 5am this morning because Madden was struggling to breathe & seemed to be choking. He had aspirated mucus or either accumulated to much in his lungs. He got suctioned really well and now he's doing fine. He's eating somewhat better today and still at home despite everything that has happened this week. He's still maintaining his oxygen in safe levels and when he does have desaturations he's rebounding all on his own. That's pretty good considering. His color is much more pink today so I am thinking thats a really good sign he is oxygenating better. He's a very strong little boy and beating the odds on what he probably couldn't do. I am so hoping that on Tuesday his scans really wow the doctor and are clear of any spots/pockets or pneumothoraces or pneumo-anythings!!!
