As Time Goes On....

So today we have been in the hospital for 1 week and a day...I AM GOING STIR CRAZY!!! Yesterday Keagan had an upper GI done to make sure his GI anatomy was correct and that everything did what it is suppose to and it came back normal...thank goodness! But we had some med changes yesterday so hopefully with the changes comes improvement! They changed the hypertonic saline from 7% to 5% because they are thinking the 7% may have been causing him more irritation! He is now on Prevacid 2x a day instead of just once. He is also on a stronger enzyme from Pancreaze 16 to Pancreaze 21 since he was still passing a lot of fat in his stool. And his albuterol changed from 2x a day through a nebulizer to 4x a day with an inhaler. We are also goin to give him motrin today because he seems to have a sore throat from all the coughing. When he has his coughing spells he makes himself stop coughing by gagging because he doesn't want to cough because of his throat! But it seems that since the bronch and they suctioned all the mucus out of the left side the problem has switched to the right side so IDK! They did a chest xray this morning so have to wait for the doctor to do rounds today for the results! Well hopefully we get to go home soon....
