X-rays and O2

Today we continued to fight this battle. Liam is steadily getting worse. I sent videos to our pediatrician of Liam breathing and he ordered X-rays. We we're worried he might have pneumonia based on the heavy labored breathing and the cough.

X-ray showed no signs of pneumonia. Pedi thought his asthma and reactive airway disease was acting up. By this time Liam was already back on oxygen. He was considering putting Liam on oral steroids again. Depending on how he does tonight and tomorrow morning will determine if he has to take the steroids or not. 

Liam was on 1 litter of oxygen but after going to sleep he needed more support. He was breathing even heavier with his saturation dropping so I increased him to 1 1/2 litters. Liam is currently sleeping comfortably and hopefully will stay that way all night. We're both exhausted.
