Updates

Because so many people are invested in our journey as Kayden fights this infection, I have decided to post daily updates on this blog.  

Kayden is on day 6/7 of this virus. They say it peaks between 4-7 days so here we sit at the eye of the storm. His BP will be great one minute, and then, boom, his heart rate drops.  By the time that comes up, his oxygen level dives down.  Then he tries to cough and contracts his breathing tube.  It's draining. 

So here was today's kicker.. Ready? I met with our PCP and he explained that the reason they don't mention the preventative shot is because insurance doesn't want to covert it. It's very expensive ($1,200) and requires 3 doses. SO due to cost they place strict requirements on who qualifies. Preemie babies born 34 weeks or earlier automatically get it. Kayden was 35 weeks, shy of "qualifying" by 1 damn week, yet clearly equally at risk. Just peachy :) 

Tomorrow starts the work week again, and so comes the crazy schedule. Praying for the strength to get us through the next couple of weeks. Its going to be a lot to handle, but we are so greatful for the prayers and thoughts of all our friends and family. They say it takes a village, right? Luckily my little bug is a fighter, and is truckin along. Hopefully tomorrow will be better :) 

Now for some Zzzz's...
