Home

Friday I took the baby to the doctor to follow up on his RSV. I was starting to get worried because he was having so much trouble breathing even though I was giving him tons of breathing treatments.

At the doctor the front desk heard his little breaths and sent me right back. The doctor came in and said she would prefer that he be at the hospital. So she called the doctor and we were pre-admitted.

Then started the longest night of deep suction, breathing treatments, and a perky night nurse who didn't have the "let's check the vitals while the baby is awake" thing quite down yet.

The husband and I alternated between a very uncomfortable squeaky chair or the slightly less uncomfortable couch while taking turns holding our raspy baby.

By Saturday we were able to suction with the wall suction (and not the deep tube suction), and then the bulb. So, after one last good lung suction they sent us home.

Home is good. It's comfy. Even if the husband spent most of the last few nights on the couch as he says, "At least it's our own comfy couch!"

I couldn't agree more.

**The baby is doing much better. He still is having trouble sleeping, but that's not really a new thing.
***Please pray he'll start sleeping well so his body can heal faster.
****The toddler is sick now as well so we are going to hole ourselves up for another week. At least there might be a winter storm coming through this week so we'll can enjoy being at home.
****Oh, and thanks to all the friends that have been bombarding us with meals. It has been such a blessing. I cannot even tell you how wonderful it has been not to have to worry about cooking!!!!!!!
