This morning, after Leo is disconnected from the ventilator,
oxygen saturation suddenly drops.
Sometimes even to 48%*.
Home methods of breath enhancing don’t help,
and Leo doesn’t allow to be reconnected to the ventilator,
so Leofamily end up in the hospital admission room.
Leo is so weak and floppy that he almost literally flows between his parents’ arms.

It turns out that the cause of this nightmare is rotavirus.
The news is bad also for another reason:
it means that during the infection Leo will have to deal with respiratory failure.
Fortunately, the doctors let us take him back home.
* Saturation below 90% is dangerous and can cause cerebral hypoxia.
