Baby Beckett

I thought I would do a quick post about Brittney's baby.

Baby Beckett stopped breathing yesterday morning. Luckily, our mom was visiting and she was able to get him breathing again. (She is an RN and actually works in recovery). They got him to the hospital and put him on a ventilator. He is breathing easy with the oxygen. They have done a lot of tests including RSV, pneumonia, meningitis and so far everything has come back negative. At this point they don't know why he is struggling to breath on his own. One idea they have is that he has really bad reflux, causing his airway to swell. There are specialists coming to see him this afternoon, hopefully they will know more then. In the meantime they have started him on steroids for the swelling and breathing.

Brittney and Kent are staying at the hospital with the baby.

*Brittney and Beckett have flown to Salt Lake City to get care at Primary Children's Hospital. The doctors felt they could do better testing here and any follow up procedures that might be needed. Kent will be driving up in the morning.
