Rough Week


The picture sums it up. Brenden (with Mom) spent two nights in the hospital with respiratory syncytial virus – as I understand, RSV is essentially a bad cold, but to an infant without the ability to clear the air way (blow your nose), it can be rather serious. He came home this afternoon and looks much better than when we took him to the emergency room. I stayed home with Braedon while Brenden and Mom were in the hospital, and that was tough for him. He was very concerned about his little brother. I tried to keep him occupied; we worked in the yard preparing the garden area, and we went on one run (with a flat tire) to the park. Now we will focus on resting and getting everyone healthy again.

My nephew battled RSV a few times and it can be scary.
Good Luck on a speedy recovery.

That is frightening! I hope the Little man will be feeling better soon.

Fooseberry, Perplexed,

Thank you for your kind thoughts. Brenden is doing very well. The doctor said he looked great at a follow-up appointment this week.
