My poor boys!

So last Monday I took Mason in thinking he just had a bad cold but wanting to make sure. They said he has RSV and there wasn't a ton I could do just get the humidifier going. So I did but by the weekend he was barely eating, no wet diapers for 14 hrs and had turned red a few times from not being able to breathe. I was so scared I called the Dr and he said to take him to Primary Children's Er. So I ran him up there on Sunday and the admitted him. He has dehydrated, has Bronchiolitis and RSV. They said he had an ear infection but it looked like he was on the tail end of it. He stayed for 24hrs and then they sent him home and he has to go to get Respiratory Therapy for the next week.

It made me so sad when Mason had to have an IV he cried so hard, and they have to stick a tube down his nose and suck out the mucus so he could breathe. He was so upset and it was so hard because he has been such a Wonderful happy baby, he only cries when he has to take a bath or he's cold so to have him cry this much has been breaking my heart!

Mason had to have a check up today, and last night Rodney was coughing so hard that he started throwing up, so I took both the boys in to get checked. The Dr said that they both had really bad ear infections and that they needed to go on antibiotics. I will be so glad when its warm outside and the kids are all healthy!

My poor little baby boy!

He cried so bad when they put in his IV :(

Sorry you had to go through that with your sweet children. Michael had RSV, pnemonia, and bronchiolitis this year. I know how hard it is to see your sweet boy with an IV. Stay strong! We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Poor little guy. I hear ya. We have had Eli in the dr. 2 times. He has bronchitis and is on breathing treatments at home right now but only cause he is still taking in fluids. IF he isn't doing better by next Tuesday we have to take him in again. Oh and ALL 3 of my kids had the stinkin ear infections. I too can't wait for Warm weather! Good luck and I hope for a speedy recovery.
