Instead of seeing our endocrinologist, we saw the pulmonologist in the ER. Rats. He started off his day like any other day, but once at daycare he had another blue episode. Our daycare is fantastic and let me know right away. I made some calls for work coverage, while heading back to daycare and made my way up to Hopkins. Ugh. And we were at the 13 day mark! We haven't been past 13 days between ER or hospital stays since November.
They did a chest X-ray, it looked great. They did a blood gas, looked great. We have no idea why he turns blue sometimes. I'm not confident in the answer we received which was it's viral. I think there's more going on and we need more information. Thankfully the fellow/attending team on call this week is a team we already know, so I was able to let them know my concerns. We already had an appointment scheduled for Thursday with our pulmonologist, so the on call team is going to share my concerns with his doctor and will actually join her for a consult today.
Cross your fingers that today is a better day for our favorite blonde boy.
Just because I know one picture isn't sufficient... this is after bath. Photo on the left was an attempt to tame his hair. On the right? Approximately 3 minutes after said taming.
He looks so different with calm hair!
He looks much cooler with a fuller mane!!!! Love you guys!
