A whole lotta nothing

I really have no more information than I did when I brought Max to the doctor on Thursday.  He is retracting while breathing which is a sign of respiratory distress.  After two trips to the emergency room and being admitted to the pediatric unit - all I know is - yes, he is retracting.

No one knows why.  It could be an upper respiratory infection, it could be left over from being premature, it could be a cardiac issue - no one knows!  It's so frustrating.  

No one seems to feel he is in imminent danger and that we should follow up with the pediatrician.  My regular pediatrician should be back next week (I think!!!!).  Perhaps she will send us to a specialist- or maybe she'll just say wait and see.  

I just don't like that there is something obviously wrong - but no answers.  I'm too much of a logical person to let this go.  We'll have to follow up.  However, I don't think the hospital is the place to do it.

Max is just chilling.  He refuses to sleep and has been up since I got here at 9:30 a.m.
