My poor little baby!

So it has been an eventful couple of days in our home. On Thursday evening Kellen threw up and then started to choke. He turned blue and we rushed him to the emergency room. He was still a little blue when we got there but he was breathing so they gave him some oxygen, took some blood and some x-rays. They kept him overnight for monitoring. His blood oxygen level kept fluctuating between 85 and 95. They wanted him to stay at 90 or above but the doctor felt like he was safe to go home on Friday evening. It wasn't fun being in the hospital and the choking was even worse. Needless to say I am an even more paranoid mother now, but I am so grateful that everything is fine and he seems fine now.


Here he is on the oxygen. The wire on his toe measures his blood oxygen level.

My handsome boy with all the tape on his face.

Sleeping with the oxygen

Here he is when he got home. The tape from the oxygen gave him horrible rashes on his little cheeks.

This is this morning, the rash has actually gotten a little better. We are so grateful that you are O.K. Kellen baby!
