This was Jacobs second hospitalization. We were in Peterborough Hospital from Feb 15th until the 18th. Jacob was battling another respiratory infection. We were sent home until there was a bed a Toronto Sick Kids for us.

We left Peterborough Hospital on the 18th of Feb so I could spend a few days with Alyssa before we went to Toronto on the 20th. We were going to start Jacob on Bi-PAP and get his G-Tube surgery when he was better. Unfortunately there was another snow storm coming that Friday and we had to be there at 1 PM so we left Thursday night, my friend Tanya drove us. Jacob and I stayed in a hotel that night. Jacob lost his swallow on the night of the 19th he didn't drink his bottle for me all night and when we got to Sick Kids the next day he was already getting dehydrated so they put in a NG Tube through his nose to feed him. This was after observing him choke on his bottle and making him try thickened formula. Needless to say he aspirated and developed a pretty bad pneumonia and needed a 5 week stay in Toronto till he was better and could have his surgery. Here are some of the pictures from that hospital stay.
