Update

Kaiden was scheduled for surgery. Two days before he started coughing so I brought him in to our Dr... He was diagnosed with RSV. His Oxygen stats were 83 the dr's said just continue doing breathing treatments and all would be ok.. I live about 30 miles from an amazing childrens hospital. I decided to bring him up there for a second opnion. I am very glad I did because they admitted him right away. He stayed in the hospital for 3 days.. Surgery was postponed for 8 weeks. It is way too dangerious to do surgery on a child that has RSV so we wait.. New surgery day is May 13th. My little guy continues to grow so fast. He is getting so big. Learning new things. I swear he said "I love you".. He just started eating baby cereal and loves it.. My other children are fasicanated by Kaiden they love to help and we all were watching him take his 1st bite. It is pretty cool everyone helps out so much! It is like having a 1st child all over again... I love being a mom!! We have an appointment the day before surgery to get Kade fitted for his stying helmet.
I find myself with the hand sanitizer all of the day I dont want him to get sick again. I am seriously considering taking my older kids out of school. There is only 4 weeks left. I just know they need to be learning so I dont know what to do at this point.
I met an amazing person today you know the kind of person you will never forget. The kind you wish you could talk to every day because they just lift your spirits. She is going to paint Kaiden's helmets I am so excited to see how it goes. We were thinking about one being a race car helmet or a football one.
Surgery is 13 days away.. It is a bitter sweet.. I want to get this done but I know what is ahead of my little guy. He has such a great attitude. Smiles all the time sleeps through the night. The best baby ever.. Even when he is crying he is trying to smile.. I am very scared that it will change him. I find myself looking at him and just starting to cry.. I know what is comming for my little man. I wish I could just fix it and take the pain away that is coming.. I have confidence in the Dr's and staff at the hospital and I know that everything will go as planned.. Just still very scared. :(
