A Glimpse into our Crazy Week!
My Cute sister in law has put together a lot of way CUTE videos. .. So i thought i would give it a try, with all the pictures from the past week! Its NOT the greatest, but it's something I can always remember, and something Kypton can look back on when he's older!

This past week has been soo CRAZY to say the least! I NEVER expected to be hanging out at primary childrens for a whole week!
It all started Sat. Kypton had gotten a little cold, just a cough and a little runny nose, but he also had a tooth coming in, so I thought it very well could just be him teething! Then Sunday comes arounds. . . He had gotten worse over night! He had a high fever, wasn't acting himself at all. He was really cuddly and really Tired! I told Zach that i thought we should take him in to get checked, and Zach suggested that it was just a cold, to just wait and see how he acted through out all of sunday. Sunday night, He was SOOO sick! He had a way high Fever, he was super out of it, to the point when he would open his eyes they would just roll back in his head, and he would go back to sleep! He couldn't even stay awake! So I made Zach let me take him in! ( I felt very strongly that I needed him to be seen!) We took him in to the Bountiful Insta Care, and they said he had RSV, they didn't test him, because they would treat it the same either way. So we just passed on getting him tested! They sucked him out with a blue Bulb, and sent us home! Monday came around and he was still way out of it, and way tired. So i took him into his Pediatrition, they Deep throat sucked him out( stuck a small tube down his down, and suctioned out all the mucos) It was so sad as a mom to watch! He looked at me for help, but I couldn't do anything, My heart was BROKEN! His Oxygen levels were pretty low, but not low enough that they thought he needed to be on oxygen! We made a follow up appt. for Tuesday, so they could see how he was doing after being suctioned. Tuesday He was still sooo sick, WORSE! We had an appt. at 320, but I didn't feel like i could wait that long, so I called to see if i could get in earlier! They fit me in at 120. We made our way up there. They tested his oxygen levels, they were at 87( they're supposed to be at 100, anything under 90 they pretty much put them in the hospital) we decided that he should have a breathing treatment, and also another Deep suction! So they did that, and checked his levels after the treatments.....STILL between 88-92. My doctor really didn't like Kyptons energy level. He wasn't very responsive. She told me that she thought we better take him up to Primary, and that she would call them before hand and let them know we were on our way, so that He WOULDN"T have to WAIT!
We got to primary, they took us right back! They checked his oxygen level. . . 73!! NOT GOOD! that really scared me! At that point I knew it was serious! They did another breathing treatment, and another deep suction, nothing was changing! They put him on Wall Oxygen... .Not working, They finally had to put him on a high flow oxygen, which requires to be up in ICU, so they can keep a good eye on him! The Doctor came in, and told me that they were gonna start an IV to get him hydrated, and that we should prob. plan to stay for a good 3-7 days! I was SHOCKED!! I didn't not expect to have stay there that long, Nor Have Kypton be put in ICU! It was a very scary experience! Even though it was very emotional for me, and very hard as a mother to watch, I felt VERY comforted through it all! (thanks to all the many prayers)
He only had to be in ICU for 1 day. He was doing a lot better, still not up to par, but better than he had been the last few days! They moved us down to Infant Care. He was still on High flow, but they were slowly turning it down, until they could have him on just Wall Oxygen( wall oxygen only goes up to 2L. of oxygen, and its a mix of room air, the High flow goes up to a level 6, which is where he started) After we moved down, he slowly just kept getting better. . . After MANY Deep throat Suctionings!(which is the hardest thing to watch!)
But I'm sooo glad we finally got to go home! and That Kypton is doing sooo Well! He's a completely different baby! He's soooo happy, and full of energy! I LOVE it!
We were there a Total of 5 days, But the STAFF was amazing! They were soo good to Kypton, and took such great care of him!
Thanks again, for all the Prayers, the text messages, and the calls! They meant a lot!!!
