PCMC

We were admitted yesterday morning at PCMC. It was a very boring day! Jonah was fine when we got here but when he wanted to get down to crawl around I think reality set. It is very hard to crawl when you are hooked up to a sat monitor, O's and an IV. Needless to say he was kind of unpleasant to be around. I kid you not, he threw a tantrum(because that's what he does now)for a full 4 hours with mild breathing breaks in between. The nurse turned up his oxygen and left the room. Oh how badly I wanted to trade her places! in the evening,I went home for a bit. It was time to put my wife hat and my mom to a 3 year old hat back on, but it was useless. Morgan was upset that I was gone most of the day and did not want anything to do with me. She became best buds with daddy. So Isaac took over and had me come back up to the hospital sooner then I was planning to. I got back up here around 7:30pm When I walked into his room I was a little taken back. There was an RT standing over his crib and it looked like Jonah was convulsing... Not convulsing...they started doing CPT with the vest. Now, Jonah's doctor came in around 5 and told me she wanted to try it, but I thought that meant in a couple days. I should have known better!

Morgan is having a hard time with Jonah being at the hospital and mom being there too. I think she is confused and scared. In the past we have told her that Jonah was sick, that seemed to be good enough at the time. When my friend Diana was ill and slowely dying we made the mistake of telling Morgan that Diana was sick too. So now she knows that Diana was sick and now we don't see her any more, and I wonder if that is why she is so worried about Jonah. Last night Isaac and I changed the story. We have now told her that just Jonah's lungs are sick and he is here to get better so that he can come home to play with her. This morning she repeated the story to daddy. This is a lot for her to understand. Hey it's a lot for me to understand!
