So we've been in contact with CHOP and it was decided that we need to come in now. I don't feel comfortable driving Caelen on my own when he is breathing rapidly and likes to take off his oxygen, so that's why we are going to be transported.
I'm hoping he can clear this on his own without having to intervene, but if not, then a bronchoscopy could be an option.
Aside from all of this crap in his lungs, Caelen is acting normal and flirting with the nurses. So thank Heaven for small miracles. And we still have friends up at CHOP, so we'll be in good company.
Just got the word that CHOP is sending the helicopter, woo hoo, Caelen's first helicopter ride. Not sure when it is coming, but Caelen is hanging out playing with his iPad and blowing bubbles.
So until tomorrow, pleas keep Caelen in your payers that he can cough this cast up and start breathing easier again.
Thank you,
Katye
Many prayers for safe travels and a quick stay. I hope he's able to clear it by himself. Give that sweet boy a squeeze from us!
