As many of you know, McKye went into the ER when he was two months old due to some choking (reflux related). While in the ER they figured out that he appeared to be wrestling with 'periodic breathing.' So we headed to children's hospital for observation and an exhaustive sleep study as seen by the picture above. This was quite the heart stretching journey for us as we often were in places of unknown and to watch your little child hooked up to monitors and wrestling with oxygen - not fun. Due to the 'periodic breathing,' he needed to be on oxygen when he sleeps till he was seven months old. Well, let us just say having a baby on oxygen is not a lot of fun. But praise God after two months of being on oxygen we did an at-home pulse-ox study and he was doing a lot better so that he no longer needed the oxygen. He now seems to be doing very well and progressing like a normal baby boy.

Oh my goodness, we had no idea you guys were going through this. How heartwrenching to see your little buddy hooked up to all of those machines! Thank God he is doing so much better! And quite handsome, might I add!
