Hospital admittance

Baby Caleb had to be admitted on Friday to the hospital.  He's had a cough for the last few weeks, but he actually stopped breathing briefly two nights in a row from secretions that he couldn't get up.  His cough is very weak and actually not "sick-like")-  more as if he's too tired to clear it.  He did another 24 hour EEG to monitor if he's having seizures and it looked good.  They are going to start tapering off phenobarbital and he'll be off it in two weeks and are adjusting another med's dosage times.  This should help with his lethargy-  which they suspect is causing the "cough".  He is getting discharged today.

  1. Hi Ashley,

    Sorry to hear that Caleb is back in the hospital. I hope he will be home for Christmas. I am praying for you. I said a prayer before I started typing this comment. Many blessings to you and your family.
