Aidens Sick.. Again..

this morning, i woke up to the dogs fighting on my bed just like any other morning. I got up, peaked in at aiden(( seen that jeff was playing with him)) and headed downstairs to catch some breakfast before we brought him and all his stuff down. No sooner do I get downstairs before Jeff starts screaming, Sarah.. get up here aidens purple.. it took me only 2 seconds to get to his room and he was going purple fast.. his body was limp, he was not looking at me or concious of what i was saying. I tried suctioning him and nothing was working. Jeff was on the phone with the rescue squad while I decided to start CPR. His heart rate, and oxygen had dropped to zero. I honestly thought we lost him. Finally, after a few minutes of CPR, he started coming back up. He started breathing normally, and his heart rate went back up to the 150's. By that time, the ambulence was there. I decided this was the best time to get him to the hospital. He has been sick for the past few weeks, and I thought it would be the safest way to get him there. So Aiden and I climbed in the ambulence, strapped in and headed for St. V's. We got here and he still wasn't normal. He acted like he was very aggravated and he didn't want anyone bothering him. All the doctors and nurses piled in the room. They wanted the story and all his medical back ground. Aiden was not happy. He was very tired and wanted to take his nap. The nurses began suctioning him. A little while after that, everything started to settle down. Aiden began to take his nap, and Jeff and Melanie showed up. They brought all his machines from home, so we decided to put his bipap on. Everything was going pretty good..
Soo Melanie and I decided to grab some lunch to bring back to our room. We were only gone a few minutes, but when we got back, jeff and the nurse told us that aiden stopped breathing again. His heart rate had also dropped to. By that point, I started crying. I looked into his eyes, which to me.. were not normal. They were not MY normal healthy, happy aiden. He was looking right threw me. I tried to hold it back, but couldn't help but to cry. I felt like I was losing my baby! I began going through all the horrible things that had been happening, and thought aidens body was telling me it was ready to give up. I couldn't stop crying.. A few minutes later, aiden fell asleep. Jeff and Melanie finally got me all settled down.
A few minutes later, a nurse came in, she was ready to take us up to the PICU. They began getting all his machines ready to go upstairs. With all the russeling around, aiden woke up. He woke up his normal, happy baby. He was EVEN SMILING!! I was so happy.. it brought back all my joy and hope. Hope that he would be okay and make it another day. Thats all we really pray for, just oneee moree day.. everynight.. just one more dayy..
We got to the picu and they began doing all there tests and got us all settled in. I even went back home for the rest of aidens "stuff". He loves alllll his "stuff" and I just didn't think I'd be the same if he didn't have it all. When I got back to the hospital, the doctor told us aiden's right top lung was collapsed. He had a lot of mucus built up there, and just couldn't get it out. They are going to get him some meds to help thin it out, and hopefully make him feel better. I think he is already doing better. He has been talking and even trying to hold his toys again. I hope tomorrow, is a better day. I know we won't go home tomorrow, but I hope that we got home soon.. and I pray that we get.. onee more day....
