By-Papp Machine
S0....the results from the x-ray are in and initially they thought it might be pnuemonia so we should start antibiotics. After consulting with more docs they have decided that it may be that his lung has squished together (almost collapsed) in the lower left portion andto wait for antibiotics and start him on a machine called By-Papp which will force the oxygen through his nose and mouth (since we have learned that he is a mouth breather)ans force the airways and his lung open. We will do another x-ray in the morning and if the same spot is still there then it is safe to say that it is pnuemonia and we will then start the antibiotics. also his i.v. went bad today and they cant seem to get one back in even after 6 tries of poking and proding, the next step may be stunt in the head. PLEASE keep brycen in your thoughts and prayers that he will get better soon. Thanks so much!!

it is good to know a precise course of action and have a plan. Finding out what is wrong and having the reassurance of knowing how to fix it makes things tolerable.
You are right Brycen is a fighter, but he is not the fighter his Mama is. One day he will be. But for now, it takes you both and together you make a formidable foe!
Yes, we are praying, hoping, sending positive thoughts and gather you both up in our hearts.
You truly are one of the greatest Mother's I have ever known and your strength comes from the most pure kind of love.....
Nothing on this earth is more powerful.
Pops, Ginger and Jordan.
