It's 3 am and...

Spent Thursday night at hospital. Jagger had been extremely tired and lethargic the last few days, started developing a fever and had breathing difficulties or rather was breathing funny. We thought that there are three possible reasons for this: 1. Disease progressing ( Sebastien's theory), 2. Robinul dose ( meds to help with secretion) too high which causes his breathing discomfort ( my theory) or 3. Pneumonia or some other infection.

I had already decreased robinul dose that day and gave several breathing treatments. By the time we got to hospital Jagger was actually better but decided to check in anyway to rule out any infection.

Thankfully everything came back negative, no infection and no pneumonia, so after some breathing treatments and Iv fluid we went home at around 3:30 am.

Jagger seems better now. The decreased dose of robinul may have done the trick. His breathing is much better and he seems a lot more comfortable and at least we know it wasn't an infection ( at least not at that time).
