Caden was discharged from the hospital this evening. The bonus package is an oxygen system. The oxygen was the only thing that Caden was getting from the hospital for the past twenty-four hours that he did not already have at home. We got outfitted with a portable system as well as a machine for the house.
There is no cure for RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) itself. The things that can spin off like an infection in the lungs is normally treated with antibiotics. Caden is already on an fairly strong antibiotic due to a suspected ear infection in his right ear. He lost the ear tube from that ear a few weeks ago. The left ear was literally running on Sunday.
Caden was absolutely thrilled to be home. He started doing a little dancing jig when Sherry put him into his own bed. He was so excited to be in his own bed.
Caden will have a follow up with his pediatrician tomorrow. I expect him to be off the oxygen no later than the end of the week.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
