Call to Dr

I called Dr Tong this morning because I am concerned about a few things. Nothing too serious, but whenever I notice something different I always ask him just to be on the safe side.

I've noticed recently that whenever Damon crawls or walks (still holding onto the wall or whatever) from one end of the room to another, or down the hall or from the kitchen to the living room (basically anytime he exerts himself) that once he gets where he is going he is kind of breathing heavy and faster, like he's out of breath. Kind of like I sound after I climb a long flight of stairs. Haha! He doesn't seem to be struggling to breath and his face and hands/feet look fine as far as I can see but I haven't noticed him doing this before.

The other thing is that last week when he got his RSV shot the nurse took his sats and they were in the mid 70's-low 80's. That's a bit lower than they have been lately. The last several times they've been taken they were in the mid to high 80's so I just want to see what the limits are for those.

I didn't mention this to Dr Tong but he also has a fever right now. I put him down for a nap at about 9:30 and at that time it was 101.7 so pray for him for all these things. I'll try to update after I talk to Dr Tong. Talk to you later.

Sarah
