Overnight, Lucas was admitted to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. He came in with a fever at 102.7, chest congestion, coughing, runny nose, & the biggest issue is his oxygen level was at 88%. Now, Lucas is on nasal cannula oxygen which is bringing him up to 96%. The 1st round of labs show a viral infection with possible pneumonia. Waiting for a 2nd round xray review by the day time radiologist to confirm pneumonia.
The night on call immune deficiency doctor from Boston Children’s Hospital called PCH when we arrived at 11:30pm on Saturday evening. Boston’s doctor told Phoenix what labs & imaging needed to be performed. Plus Boston told Phoenix what medicines Lucas should be started on. Basically, Boston is taking the lead with managing Lucas’ care.
Please say a prayer that Lucas quickly beats this & starts to feel better. Never easy watching your little one be sick in a hospital.
I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT LUCAS, I PRAY HE FEELS BETTER REAL SOON. I HATE HEARING THAT HE IS NOT HIS PLAYFUL, HAPPY SELF. LOVE YOU ALL….GIVE LUCAS A KISS/HUG FOR ME. 😦
Thanks Aunt Carol. He’s getting good care by the doctors & nurses.
I am so sorry to hear this frightening news. It is never easy to watch and hope and pray for a little one. We are certainly praying for Lucas and your family. When you mentioned the song “Thy Will”, I have not heard it. but it brought to my mind the “Our Father” and the phrase” …”Thy will be done”… God will be watching over Lucas and I will be praying the Our Father for him.
The song is based around the Bible phrase of “thy will be done” We know Jesus Christ is watching over Lucas and keeping him safe.
