Dalley is Home

So after a long week in the hospital they let Dalley out last Friday but still on a little bit of oxygen. Then yesterday I took him back to the Dr and they took him off the oxygen completely. We are so excited to have him home and free of the cumbersome oxygen tank. While he was in the hospital they did some tests because he has been prone to respiratory infections and they wanted to figure out why. They discovered that he has an issue with the hairs in in his lungs that are supposed to act as a filter to get rid of mucus. They are not working properly. They told us this is common in people who have the heart problems that Dalley has. This means that we will need to see a pulmonary specialist to see if there is anything we can do to fix this. I am glad that they finally found something. He has had his share of gunk between RSV, pneumonia twice, and this last thing. I hope that we can figure out how to slow these things down from happening.

Thanks to everyone for your prayers, thoughts, and calls.

Here are some pictures of Dalley's stay in the hospital.

The Panguitch Hospital doesn't have a crib so he slept in the regular bed. He looks so tiny in that big old bed.
