Landon Updates. Part 2.

I figured everyone would like to know what is going on with little guy...

And in the interest of not mixing up info, I'll compile a list of status updates from Lindsay's facebook here:

Starting Feb. 9th up until today:

On the way to St. John's Mercy Hospital with Landon :(


Finally got Landon settled in a room but now Emmett has a 100.9 temp. Praying it's just a reaction to his shots and that he is catching what Landon has!


Not much sleep last night due to breathing treatments, cough, IV meds and his upset stomach but my little man is such a trooper!


They're keeping Landon at least one more day because he doesn't want to eat or drink and what little he does consume he throws back up. We also found out that his doctors at Children's Hospital want to do another bronchoscopy on Landon at their facility, which is a bummer since he just had one in December. The good news is that his fever is down. Thanks for praying, friends. We appreciate the prayers so much!


Landon pretty please could you bring those oxygen levels up and keep food and drink down? Your mama is starting to worry at an unhealthy level.


Well, it's looking like we will be here another night or so. Landon still isn't eating much or keeping anything down and his cough has gotten a little worse. Poor guy is worn out from being sick, not eating, coughing, ect. My normally happy guy hasn't awarded us with very many smiles or laughs today but he's still been a trooper. I'm so proud of him for being a good boy even though he's bored and lonely. Funny moment of the day: after a particularly bad coughing spell that resulted in bringing up his lunch, Landon flopped back down of the bed and said: "Can I have a present now? I sad." Silly boy!


Well, Landon's blood-oxygen level was down tonight, even after a breathing treatment, and he wasn't able to keep down supper which is a bummer but it was so wonderful to see him happy tonight while he had visitors. He's been sad and quiet the last couple of days but when Uncle Chad and Aunt Amy and Bella, Gramps and Uncle Josh were here he perked right up, just like he did yesterday when Pop Pop and Ga'Ma were here. Poor kid has been so lonely! Thanks for visiting and cheering Landon up!


Look like we will be here for another day or so. Landon had a rough night last night and the coughing is making it hard for him to keep food and drink down. He may go back on the IV fluids this morning. The fever is still gone though, PTL!


Landon is being hooked back up to the IV for fluids since he isn't taking in enough food or drink and is still having trouble keeping it down. Poor little buddy is not going to be happy about this! Every time he sees the IV pole he says "I not like that, mommy!"


Landon is having a rough day today. He keeps having coughing fits that make him throw up and he's back to refusing to eat. He's running low on energy and just wants to stay in bed. (anyone who knows him knows that this is so not like my normally hyperactive child)
He has a bit of a wheeze again but is still moving air well. They are considering the possibility of whooping cough, although most kids don't run a high fever with it. They are switching his antibiotic too.



Please pray for Landon. He's having his worst day yet. He can't stop coughing and vomiting and is now complaining of chest and back pain. He won't get out of bed and has slept half the day. It kills me that I can't do more for him:(


Dr was just here. We are here another night (obviously) They are switching his oral Zithromax to IV, upping his fluids and doing more bloodwork, including blood cultures to check for staph.He's going to check for pancreatic and liver problems too. He's still throwing up and his cough is getting worse. He hasn't left his bed since 10:30 this morning. He still won't drink but did take one bite of chicken nugget which is awesome because it's the first food he's had in 22 hours!


 So that's the latest. Lil man is sick and sad. I think we would all do ANYTHING to make him better!

Please keep praying for strength for Landon and his parents, wisdom for the doctors, and health for the Dunham family!
