jack update

some of you know or have heard via the school talent show that Jack was admitted to the hospital today for RSV & a secondary infection, possibly ear but not sure.

because of my recent surgery I am not able to be with him there because I can not do the lifting etc. This of course breaks my heart... (truly... what mom doesn't want to be there for her kids?) but I am thankful because he has an awesome daddy who is doing an amazing job being a comfort for him. I did go for an hour or so this evening before the talent program. I don't think Josh will get much sleep tonight.

As you remember he had RSV as a 6wk old baby. I guess he can become more prone to this type of infection later.. thus our current situation. They are doing breathing treatments & oxygen with him and I believe were going to start some antibiotics on him to treat the other infection. After josh had been admitted with Jack his fever spiked up to 103. So they are trying to get that down and keep him hydrated without doing and IV. (he is not really eating & threw up as I was leaving) I will keep you posted but would appreciate your thoughts and prayers for Jack, Josh, and of course my healing.

On a lighter note, the talent program at the school was tonight and Sam & McKenna did a piano duet which was beautiful! I was so proud. All the kids were amazing and it was a wonderful event! Emma will be performing with Josh and some staff at the auction in April... as they had to cancel because Josh could not be there tonight.
