Gavin's down at Primary Childrens.

Gavin is in the hospital at Primary's. He was admitted yesterday to Davis hospital with respiratory distress. He was not responding to the oxygen they put him on. Once we got to the hospital they did a chest x-ray and found that he had pneumonia, so they started treating him for that. In the mean time he will still not responding well to the oxygen so they decided to up it and that seemed to help through the night. In the morning(so today), he was doing OK but by 11am he quickly started showing more signs that something else was wrong. They came to draw blood and suction twice and this time he just laid there not responding or crying like he had done before. So they decided to check his 02 levels in his body and they were through the roof, immediately they knew he needed to be at Primary's. He was not breathing enough to get out the o2 that had been going in to him. So he was totally lethargic and just laid there. They said it was kind of like carbon monoxide poisoning. He was sedated and intubated and life flighted down to the hospital. He is coming off his sedation slowly and he o2 levels are slowly going back to where they need to be. He will have to be here for at least a few days. Please keep Gavin in your prayers.
