Update - Reiyan's condition

March 9, 2005

Hi. I've not been posting for a couple of weeks. Reiyan got sick (head cold) 2

weeks ago. This was his first time getting sick and not getting put in the

hospital!! Yeah!! For those of you who don't know - Reiyan has downs but

really that is the least of his problems - HE was a 27 week preemie and has

severe lung problems. He is on Oxygen continuously and every time he gets sick

- he gets pneumonia. His lungs only work at 1/2 capasity.

Well, He is sick again. We are going to pulmonology today for our regular

schedualed check-up and I have a feeling we are going back to the hospital. It

will be his 5th time going in in less than one year and that is not including

the NICU 3 month stay at birth.

Having Downs is no big deal - - Being 3 month preemie could be no big deal - -

the combination of the two could be lethal.

I need your prayers to keep him out of the hospital. He does much better at

home... On top of that we are selling our house and for me not to be here would

be hard. His appointment is at 3:30 today.
