Prayer Request

Yesterday, my baby boy was admitted to the hospital, after testing positive for RSV and Bronchiolitis. He is on high-flow oxygen and receiving the occasional nebulizer treatment. Without them, his breathing is just too labored, so these things are definitely helping him, but he still has a ways to go. Even though this is a waiting game, the pediatrician predicted he would remain in the hospital until Tuesday or Wednesday.

He is doing well, and he is where he needs to be! And for that I am grateful.

Please keep him in your prayers over the next few days as well as the rest of the children who miss their baby brother ... and who are adjusting to the temporary family upset like real troopers!

Thank you!
More later ...

Oh, Sarah. I know what it's like to have a baby in the hospital and others at home that need you, too. It's terrible. Prayers offered, and love to you.

I'll be praying until I hear otherwise (or read otherwise), will offer my Mass tomorrow for him.

Oh, it just breaks my heart to see him like this. He even has hospital jammies. Please do let us know if you need anything. Our prayers have not ceased since hearing the news. Blessings to you, precious godson.

Oh Sarah, I'll be praying for Joseph, and you, too!
I know how difficult it is needing to be with the wee one and every one at home wanting/needing Momma, too.
Blessings to you all...

Just read your request for prayers. We'll be praying for all of you. Trust your docs...you probably caught it early, and your little guy will be out soon if not sooner than you think.:) We, too, had Nick in the hospital last year shortly after he was born. He was at Fairview Children's, and I can't say enough good things about them. It's quite a scare...I know...especially when there little bodies wheeze and heave with the labored breathing. God Bless You...hang in there.:)

Mum2eight said...

sorry, I mean Sarah.

Sarah said...

That's so hard. I've had two preemies in the NICU and I know how serious RSV can be. He's a strong little guy and I'm so glad he'll have help pulling through this.

Oh I will say a prayer for your Joseph tonight. It sounds like he is doing better from your latest post.
