Gavin's cold has found him in the hospital again! He progressively got worse over the weekend, so I took him into E.R. this morning. He actually got worse while we were in E.R., so I guess it's a good thing that I brought him in when I did. I think that he made himself get worse when he heard that they were going to admit him to stay. He decided that if he had to stay he better get real sick so that they would put him in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, instead of being put in a room on the regular floor. He knows that you get more one-on-one attention in ICU, so he dropped his oxygen sats real fast so that he could earn a trip to the more exclusive floor! I'm actually happy about this. If we have to be in the hospital, the ICU is a much better place to be. Gavin knows what's best!
Pray that they can figure out what is wrong. Right now they think it could be a number of things. (pneumonia, RSV, bronchitis, pertusis or none of the above.) I'm hoping that it's something bacterial, that way antibiotics will help to get him well and home again faster. He is struggling to breathe and is on about 4 liters of oxygen right now. Pray that he doesn't get any worse and that he begins to feel better soon. Right now he feels and acts miserable and it's breaking my heart! Thanks for your prayers!
"Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of righteous man avails much." James 5:13&16

Alicia & Joel, so sorry to hear Gavin was admitted. We pray it is a short stay and he gets well soon. If you need anything, bringing and picking up from school or taking Caleb on his days off PLEASE let us know. Get well soon Gavin!!!! Love The Hilton's
Dang it! I was hoping and praying for no hospitals. Well, at least he made sure, that without a doubt, you knew that is where he needed to go! I am glad you were able to get to PICU. Always better than the regular floor.
Praying Gavin gets better very soon,
Alicia
I'm sorry to hear that you are in the hospital. I hope that Gavin gets better soon so you can get back home!
As a sidenote, I totally agree with you about the PICU versus the regular floor. Much better nursing and attention!
I hope you're home lickety-split.
I can't tell you how sorry I am to read that you are in the hospital. I know it's a hard place to be, even though it's a safe place and a relief if you are worried about your boy. I'm just going to pray for a quick recovery and a chance to go back home SOON. SERIOUSLY PRAYING!

Alicia, I saw the title of your post on my blog, and my heart sank. I am so sorry, you and gavin are in the hospital. I am glad you are in the PICU.
My heart is hurting for you, as you just sit there, and wait.
I so wish I could drive up there and sit with you.
Feel surrounded by us moms.....LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU, LOVE YOU!!!!
We'll be praying for Gavin--and all of you. I'm thankful that he's in a good place where he can get good care.
Poor little guy. I hope he feels better fast! Give him a hug from us.

I found your blogspot through Jaxson. I will continue to stop in and check on Gavin. I hope he gets out of the hospital soon and they figure out what's wrong with him!
Prayers are being sent your way!
Hugs - Tiffany
Oh I was so hoping that he wouldn't have to be admitted!! I am so glad that he's in PICU though, that's where we prefer Addysen to be too but she stayed on the regular floor last month. I pray that little Gavin gets stronger and stronger and meds will kick this ick out of him!
So many people who love precious little Gavin are praying that his health condition takes an upward turn so that he can come back home a.s.a.p to his Mommy, Daddy and fine brothers.
I want to share a very nice prayer written by Helen Steiner Rice..
On the wings of prayer
our Burdens take flight
And our load of care
becomes bearably light..
And our heavy hearts
are lifted above
To be healed by the balm
of God's wonderful love..
And the tears in our eyes
are dried by the hands
Of a loving Father
who understands
All of our problems,
our fears and despair..
When we take them to Him
on the wings of prayer!
Psalm 31:24 - Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
I love you all so very much.
Loving you forever, Sharon
Oh no! I am so sorry to hear you guys are in patient! I will be praying along with you that it's one antibiotics can fix. My heart breaks to read that he's having trouble breathing and not feeling well. We're thinking of you guys, and praying that Gavin is home soon.
Alicia and Family.. I am thankful that Gavin is in the hospital. I know it is hard on you to be there with all the past experiences. We know he's in the best hands of all - God!!!
I told Joel to please let me know when I can help with the boys or whatever is needed.
I'll be waiting to hear from you.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
Love, Aunt Jenni
