Last week Caleb had what we thought was a cold. On Sunday, Jeremiah seemed to be coming down with one as well. J’s cough got worse and worse to the point on Wednesday he was having trouble to breath. We took him to the doctor and found out he had RSV (bronchialitis). Caleb probably has RSV too, but since he is older his body can handle it better than J. Its like a cold gone bad-tons and tons of mucus and coughing! We got sent straight to Scottish Rite from our doctor’s visit-and have been here ever since! The little guy has gotten several breathing treatments (where they put a mask on him and he sucks oxygen mixed with some medicine) and had his nose suctioned numerous times (like with a vacuum cleaner). It has been so hard watching such a sweet little guy be so miserable and go through so much. Did you know they make hospital gowns his size?? It is pretty cute! We have spent two nights here and are hoping we get to go home today! Matt and I are both really tired physically and emotionally. We want to go home so bad-to be home and be with Caleb! We miss our active little toddler and know he needs his parents and back to a normal routine, but then we want to do whats best for J too….so it’s just hard! My nerves are kind of like shot. I am praying he is doing better, so we can go home and all be together again! Thanks for praying for us and checking in!

We are so glad you are all back home together and that Jeremiah is doing better. Caleb was a very good boy while you were away.
