Landon gave us another scare today. I was walking home from the post office when I noticed Landon was not looking right, he looked a little blue. When took him out of his stroller he threw up and was not breathing. I got all the throw up out of his mouth and started giving him mouth to mouth. A corpsman was walking by and asked if he could help, he then took over. Landon started to breath (not well), and shortly after an ambulance arrived. We went to the emergency room and they gave him oxygen and cleared his airway a little better. His oxygen level was still not as high as it should be, and they were not sure if it was going to get any better (or if he was going to pass away) so they attempted to put in an IV in case they needed to give him morphine to take away any discomfort. They could not get and IV in, but by that time Landon's oxygen level was getting better so they decided they didn't need to put it in anymore. They monitored him a little while longer, and then we came home. This happened last week as well, I was at home by myself when he threw up and stopped breathing, I gave him mouth to mouth and he started breathing. I did not take him to the hospital though. Since he has been throwing up, and spitting up this past week the pediatrician recommended we decrease his food. He was all the way up to 60ml (2 oz.) every 3 hours. We have decreased it to 52ml, so hopefully he will do better with that amount. As we have said so many times before, Landon is such a fighter!! And he has shown us over and over again how strong he is.
