Austin missed the hospital

Emily and Austin have checked back into the hospital. After a pediatrician appointment there were some irregularities in his breathing again. So after 3 hours at the pediatrician we headed back down to Ft. Myers to the ER to get admission into The Children's Hospital.

Today there are no real updates on the situation so I will give you some thoughts and a recap of the day so far. Today he is waiting to get an EKG (cardiac monitor) done and he is getting some respiratory monitoring at the time on his resp. rate and oxygen levels. Emily is doing fine hanging out with him at the hospital. Lex and I will be joining them later this afternoon. We are beginning to think people are doubting anything is wrong with him. based upon their initial reactions. Fortunately, the pediatrician verified his rapid breathing and we are going to make sure they get it figured out before they send us home again. The doctors seemed baffled because their textbooks and experience are not making sense of his symptoms or lack thereof. His breathing should have normalized about 72 hours after the c-section. They just say that he is just so healthy looking that they doubt anything could really be wrong. We are staying strong and just want them to figure out the problem or irregularities with his breathing. I am going to make sure they are 100% certain of no complications prior to his discharge or have them provide us monitoring equipment at home if they do not figure it out just so we can be on the safe side.
Emily and I are surrounded by some doubters since Austin's breathing has been relatively okay since he checked into the hospital so it is getting harder and harder to persuade his caregivers other than our pediatrician and neo-natalogist that anything has ever been wrong.

I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the well-wishes.
