A Quick Update

Hey folks,

Due to the lack of recent posts, we've had a few queries and just wanted everyone to know that Ollie is doing OK. He's generally been great since the ER trip - but we've been extra vigilant.

The pulmonologist thinks he had a cold for a couple of weeks which lead to the excessive and thicker secretions that led to the ER. Post ER, it was a bit rough with constant cough assist and suction for about a week. My poor sister happened to be here helping out during the last few days and can attest to the challenge of keeping him clear. She did a wonderful job with her favorite nephew ;)

Overall, he's been breathing and sleeping well. He did give Bekka a small scare the other day, but it was NOTHING like the day of the ER trip AND she had all the equipment since she was at home. Being SuperMom, she took care of everything. She was a little "nerve-racked" by the time I got home, but little guy was doing great. It's amazing what you can do when you have to. It's also amazing how quick Ollie is to flash a smile even after being tortured with his equipment. He's such a forgiving and happy little fellow - I think we could all learn a lesson from that.

We *promise* we'll get new pics up on Picasa soon - we have a few exceptionally cute ones (but don't we always).
