We have spent the majority of the past week in, you guessed it...the HOSPITAL! Thomas was diagnosed with a horrible case of RSV, and a double ear infection. We keep having to go back in cause the poor guy wont eat or drink...and for a "big" little guy, he has been dangerously dehydrated. This week has tested us as parents in every way. As a mother, this week I have cried with my baby more than I care to admit. To top it off, I also showed off some not so great mothering characteristics when we were in the hospital and the nurse accidentally dropped the oxygen machine on Thomas' foot...some words Tommy hasn't heard before (he has heard a lot out of me) flew out of me. Thomas was then treated to see if there were broken bones. I almost went ape, and I would have thrown my own ape poop at that nurse if my kid came out of the Hospital for treatment of a respiratory disease and came out with a cast too...watch out, here comes Mama bear!
Rob has been the most incredible Dad this week! There is no end to what he will do for our son...or me. He is 110% dad and hubbie...what would we do without you? Well, be throwing our poop at nurses I guess?
So far, no trip back to the hospital TODAY...but we almost had to at lunch if he didn't eat...but a lunch of otter pops and dad force feeding him kept us out of the ER for one more day.
Thomas is on his way...the coughing and wheezing is much better. Time is the best medicine I think now. Thanks to all the friends who have been there for us!
