Well, after my post yesterday, Dayton had another appointment back at the doctor's office. His oxygen levels were very low, so they sent us over to the hospital to be admitted. He did okay the first hour and his levels were going up. And then they went lower than before and his yucky fever came back! So, he spent the most of today asleep, on oxygen. He got an IV because he was refusing to do anything other than a sip of water about once every two hours. He also wouldn't eat anything...not even a popsicle or ice cream! Now that's enough to make a Mommy worry!!! But since about 3:30, he's looking better. He's stayed awake longer and he ate two bites of a cookie. We'll definitely stay another night, but if he keeps getting better, we're saying prayers that we'll get to go home tomorrow. He just has to be able to keep his oxygen levels up on his own! Prayers for that!

Here's a little picture of him from today. Sorry that it's the tiniest thing ever, but it's from my phone...



Thank you all so much that have called & emailed with your love and support. If we would have taken each of you up on your dinner offer, we might be have been able to stop hunger in America! ;) Thanks for your sweet words and thoughts!!! I'll let you know when we're home.

Oh, no! We're praying he's back to his old self in no time! I know how hard it is to watch and not be able to "fix" it, so we're praying for you, too! Keep us updated on his progress.
