RSV

Sorry for the long delay in posting. We did have great holidays and I'll update with some pictures later, but right now the main thing we are dealing with is Jonathan being sick. After seeing him struggling to breathe so much this afternoon, I decided to take him in to see a doctor. Yes, it could have been just a cold and they could have told this over protective first time mom to go home and just deal with it, but it wasn't just a cold. He has RSV/bronciolitus and has to be on breathing treatments every 6 hours for the next 5 days. They said it was good that I brought him in and that it probably saved him a trip to the hospital. We still need to watch that he doesn't get dehydrated as that is a concern that also could send him to the hospital.

On a side note, Mike is super busy at work and has to work all weekend, so neither of us will be at church on Sunday. Please pray for strength for both of us as we are dealing with little sleep and pray that Jonathan heals quickly. I do praise God for giving me the "mommy instinct" that he really needed a doctor today.

I'll post more pictures soon...

WE will be praying for all 3 of you. That's rough. I can't help but feel guilty thinking that he got it from Molly, but I guess tis the season. Let me know if you need anything.
