Dalley Update

Just a little update for those of you who know about Dalley's issues and to tell the rest. Dalley has been in the hospital since Sunday. We took him to the emergency room because he wasn't able to breathe very well. He was struggling to breathe and he was retracting around his ribs like crazy. We took him in and they did an x-ray and some tests. They wanted to give him a breathing treatment but I told them I didn't think that he could have albuterol because of his heart. they called a cardiologist at Primary Children's and they told him they could give him a different breathing treatment. they gave it to him and his poor little heart rate went up to like 230. Then the cardiologist called back and said that he shouldn't have that medicine either. So they admitted him to the hospital and put him on oxygen. Because they can't do the breathing treatments we are just giving him steroids and waiting. Every time they try to wean him off the oxygen his saturation drops to 82 or lower. they can't take him off til he can maintain at 90. We are just waiting for him to improve right now, but it is a slow process. they have done another x-ray this morning and checked his white blood count. His blood showed that he is dehydrated but nothing more serious.We are still waiting on the results from the x-ray.
Anyhow I will update when I know more.
