Ty's Hospital Trip

This is our poor little Ty this last week in Primary Children's Hospital ICU. He had a very severe asthma attack, which he's never had before, on Wednesday night. We took him into the ER, and after spending the night there they admitted him. The second day he got a lot worse, and had to be sent to the ICU, where he was put on a bipap machine to help him breathe, and about 6 different drugs. The mask scared him so much that they had to keep him sudated while he wore it.
After going three days without being able to eat or drink anything, they were going to have to put a feeding tube in Ty unless he could do well without the breathing treatments. Right at the deadline he was able to come off of the treatments & have some liquids. Yay!!We were so excited when we got to the hospital Sunday morning and saw him smile!! He had improved so much in one night, so we were able to move out of the ICU, and on Monday night we finally went home. We are so thankful for our family and friends who helped us with our kids and everything else while we were in with Ty! He even made it home for his birthday yesterday!!
