Connor turns blue zero to three times a day. It can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 3 hours. Dr. Saluke (our pediatrician) has scheduled us to go back to Children's Hospital on January 8th to meet with a rheumatologist to see if it is a circulation issue. In the mean time she said it would be helpful if we took him to Childrens while he is blue so they can read his oxygen levels. Saturday he went blue for the third time in five hours so off we went to our local Chilrens hospital. He was blue when we still got there but after waiting, registering, the nurse asking questions and the doctor actually coming in he wasn't blue any more.
They did a chest x-ray to check his lungs. They found the begining of pnemonia and an ear infection (totally unrealated to his blueness) so he is on antibiotics. This kids is one tough cookie, didn't act upset at all about either. In this picture he is feeding dad some teddy grahams.
