HI ladies! Zan has started his terrible 2's & 3's. Almost any time he doesn't get his way he has a major meltdown. UGH!! He has some serious climbing issues. Just to get into things, he moves anything so he can climb up and reach things. He climbs up on the back of the glider rocker if it is close to anything so he can get…

Jen- I hope your daughter feels better soon. :flowerforyou: Breathing treatments can be annoying. My son is still on them from when he was in the hospital with pneumonia. Hopefully he will get off them when we meet with the pulmonary dr. in a month. It is not fun when our children are sick. Take care. Good night. :smile:

Life is busy right now. Trying to break Zan from his nuk so not getting enough sleep and he is extremely crabby. My monkey is pulls out the kitchen chairs to climb on the table now. :grumble: I know he is a boy and loves to climb but why is it always to get into things. I can't keep anything on the table anymore. I love my…

HI ladies! Ody is starting to go back to school. Today was his first day back. For the next week, he will go 1/2 days in the afternoons as I transition him back into a morning routine and change the schedule of his breathing treatments. He is doing well. Zan is 18 months today. I can't believe it. Time flies. I have not…

Jen- Thank you for the challenges and the chart. I am sorry I forgot to weigh myself last week. I know I am going to be up again. I am struggling to get back in the habit of going to the gym and I am eating way to much left over Halloween candy. Have a great night. :)

Hi ladies! sorry I have been MIA. Things have been hectic since Ody came home. Zan is jealous when I am taking care of Ody. Ody is getting better little by little. :smile: Soon Ody will be back to normal. He is starting to get his appetite back. He still needs to gain strength/muscle and weight. I love the exercise…

CW: 216.4 Sorry I am late. Ody is home now after almost 4 weeks of being in the hospital. :) Things have been very busy here since.

A quick check in. Ody is supposed to come home tomorrow! :bigsmile: I just finish cleaning and disinfecting the most of the house. I only have the kitchen left and it the worse but Ody never goes in there. I left it last so if it don't get done before he comes home it will be ok because Ody never goes in there. Way past…

My son, Ody after 3.5 weeks in the hospital should come home from the hospital tomorrow unless something changes!!:bigsmile: Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes! Ody is still going to be recovering for a while but he gets to do it at home. :smile: He a significant amount of loss weight and muscle tone while being…

Just a quick check in. Ody was moved to a regular room tonight. :) Hopefully if everything goes well he will come home Thursday. :bigsmile: If I don't get a chance to check in that much, know you guys are in my thoughts. I am hope to spend more time at hospital since Zan can visit Ody now. Then I will be busy with both…

Ody, my oldest son is starting to make some progress towards recovering from pneumonia. I am hoping he will get to come home from the hospital sometime next week. He still has few more hurdles to get over first. Finally after 2+ weeks of a fever he has been fever free for almost 48 hours.:bigsmile: I got to see him smile…

A quick update: Ody is doing better and has been fever free for almost 48 hours!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:Yesterday when I got to see he smiled and he was a wake and somewhat alert. Tonight he was sleepy. I hope if Ody continues to improve he will get to come home soon. Thank you for all the prayers. :smile: Have a great night. :)

They took Ody off the ventilator today and put him on a bypap machine. It helps open Ody's lungs. He is breathing on his own and is doing ok. He is still not out of the woods yet but if things keep going like they are for the next 24 hours. They will start weening him from that. They still don't know what is causing his…

Thank you JustJen for the chart and the challenges. :) I am going to give Pilates a try. I really thought Ody was doing so good but yesterday they tried twice to get Ody off the ventilator, but it failed. Will try again tomorrow. They would like to see him breath over the ventilator, but he isn't do that. He still getting…

Ody kind of took a step back today. They turned off the ventilator to see what Ody would do and Ody did not breathe. Now they have to decide how to proceed from here. I am bummed. I really thought Ody would breathe despite it not being the most likely outcome. His lungs are not as clear as they were yesterday either. His…

It went better at the gym on Friday then I expected. Yeah! :) Ody is doing a little better. The next few days are critical because they are starting to ween him off the ventilator. Please continue to pray for him. If everything goes accordingly, hopefully Ody will be off the ventilator by Thursday. He has to continue to…

I lost 2.8 pounds since last week. It is a miracle I am not stress eating and gaining weight as I usually do when I am stressed out. I don't know what is different but I am going to take it. I am going to the gym for the first time in over 2 weeks today. I am afraid of how out of shape I am going to be. I am going to go…

CW: 216.8 Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. :smile:

Thank you for all the prayers for my son & me. I am back to normal. My son made a tiny bit of progress today but I guess it isn't enough for the doctors. They told my husband tonight if Ody doesn't start making real improvements that he may have to be permanently placed on a ventilator. We are going to have a meeting on…
