They've determined that it's bacterial pneumonia. He's on two different antibiotics (IV) for now. We're not really seeing major improvements yet, but the doctor said it wold be at least 48 hours until they would know if he is responding appropriately. He was on 3 - 4 liters of oxygen all day yesterday but his sats still only lingered at about 92 - 94. They also had to bump him up to 5 liters last night again only to maintain sats of 90 - 91. Even though his sats are low, he does not seem to be having any distress or difficulty breathing ( I think that's the only reason we're not on the intermediate care floor, or the PICU. Hoping for greater improvements today. Parker is handling everything like a champ. He is such a brave little boy.
