Hunter was admitted into the hospital early this morning. We spent all night in Emergency. Hunter was wheezing. I called my Pediatrician's office who advised me to bring him in. After monitoring him in the ER, they decided it would be in his best interest to admit him.

After they admitted him, the doctor ordered a chest x-ray. They noticed that his lungs were "wet". This means that he had extra fluid on his lungs. They are going to keep him, start Lasik’s to remove the fluid, steroids, and breathing treatments.
Hunter's oxygen requirements went from .25 liters to 1 liter. They will be trying to wean him down over the next couple days.
