Last Sunday, we took Baby Cub to the ER because we thought he was dehydrate from not eating all day. In the ER, suddenly 20 people were surrounding Baby Cub because he was barely breathing. They were pumping air into him and calling for a crash cart. It was the scariest moment of our lives. They were able to stabilize him and move him to the ICU.
The next day, Baby Cub tested positive for RSV. He spent the next 4 days in the ICU trying to get better. We feel very blessed to have been at Seattle Children's Hospital. We received excellent care and loved all of the doctors and nurses who took care of us.
We know many prayers were answers on the behalf of Baby Cub. We are so thankful for the power of prayer and priesthood blessings. We are thankful for modern medicine that also helped save our baby's life.
As we left the hospital Big D said, "Well we lost 1 bottle in the ER, 1 pajama outfit (that they cut off him in the ER) and 1 week of our lives here. " I finished saying, "Yes, but we have our baby."
Our hearts are full this Christmas with love for our Baby Cub, family, friends, and our Savior.
Love,
-Miss T

I am so glad that he is home (and especially in time for Christmas!). We have been praying for you guys as I'm sure many others have been as well. That must have been so scary! I'm so excited that he is home!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!! That is so scary. My youngest had RSV at Christmas time 3 years ago at just 6 weeks old, so I know how scary it can be. I'm so glad he is on the mend. What a cute precious baby!
ReplyDeleteWow - those pictures brought back deja vu moments for me. I'm so happy to hear that your sweet baby is out of the hospital. You have been mighty in our thoughts and prayers. We missed you at our Chica Night. Hopefully I can squeeze you and your little family soon. Love ya girl.
ReplyDeleteThose photos of him in the hospital break my heart! He's such a cute little bundle and I'm so relieved he's home and healthy!!!
