Stockton chillin' by the poolWe took the kids to Peter Piper Pizza to let them play games and win tickets for some really marvelous toys! :) They were in heaven once again.
The last night we were there we had a BBQ with the fam and had such a good time.

HinkleyStockton's appointment went well. The doctor said that his lungs sounded clear and thought that his oxygen level was low due to the congestion in his nose. She didn't want to do any testing on him if this was the reason it was still low because it would involve sedating him, drawing blood & starving him for 8 hours. So they got us set up with an oxymeter (tests his oxygen level) at home so we can test him several times a day. They are having us try to slowly wean him off of the oxygen for the next 3-4 weeks and if that works that will be great. If it doesn't we will take him back down at the end of 4 weeks and start more tests. So far he has been able to wean down to a smaller amount of oxygen during the day and I have even been able to take him off completely for about 4 hours on two different days. It is a little bit of an improvement at least. When he is completely just breathing room air only during the day the doctor is having a test set up to test his level at night so they can get a constant reading for about 8 hours. The oxygen level is always lower while sleeping so they want to test him really good before he completely comes off at night. So we are basically just doing the same thing as before but it is nice to be able to test him at home now. The pulmonologist and nurses there were so thorough and spent about 2 hours with us. It made us feel good to know we have a Plan A, Plan B, etc. if weaning his oxygen doesn't work.

Stockton is getting so chubby. He's a doll just like the other two. Looks like you had a fun Spring Break:)
Looks like a fun trip!
Stockton sure is growing!! What a cute little guy! Glad to hear the update and I hope he continues to do better and can get of the oxygen soon!
aw hes getting so big!! Hope his levels continue to get better so he can finally come off the oxygen. Sounds and looks like you guys had for spring break. Bet it was nice to get away for awhile.
Of all the time we were together you choose to take a picture of me once a whole bottle of pop explodes on me... haha. Come down more often k.
Looks like so much fun! I can't wait until John & Debbie's pool is warm enough to swim.
Stockton looks like he's still eating good! So cute! I hope that everything works for you and he gets to come off the oxygen soon.
I am glad Stockton is doinmg good. I Have been updating mom. It looks like your Spring break was fun. it was fun to see apictures of your family tell them all I said HI! We have 4 day weeks and get out on May 22 so we get no spring break:( but I guess that is OK because it is snowing today and we would have to go clear down to Arizona to be warm ugh!
What a fun spring break! The pictures are great too. I love your mom's bbq grill and area and the pool is awesome! What a great place to escape to!
Sounds like you had a fun Spring Break! I am sorry to hear that Stockton still can't come off the oxygen but hopefully be summer it will be a thing of the past. Kyler was taking about 30 minutes also-I don't remember my other kids taking so long. Time seems to go on forever but in the last few weeks he has been a little faster.
