Hello OLBH and RSV...
This is something mommy and daddy have always be scared of, RSV is crazy and something mommy has always been scared of you getting, So when you were a baby baby mommy and daddy kept you in alot around this time of year to keep you away from all the germs, but as you got a little older mommmy and daddy took you everywhere we went, and since Mimi was sick and going through chemo we didnt really have a choice but you take you with us or only one of us go, so we would bundle you up in some warm cloths and be on our way.

We could tell you were starting to get an "upper respritory infection" so we thought thats all it was and Daddy headed off to school in Morehead, and Mommy took you to the Dr. On this day was the FIRST day Daddy ever forgot his cell phone at home, which is something he NEVER does. When we went to the Dr to see Dr Cook, who we LOVE she tested you for RSV rigth away, they then gave you a breathing treatment and a shot and told mommy they thought you would end up in the hospital that night, if you started grunting when you would breath or if you started to have a hard time breathing. Well I couldnt get a hold of you Daddy to tell him the awful news bc he didnt have his phone. I just prayed that you would be ok, and that Mommy wouldnt have to take you to the hospital alone. They had you hooked up to A MILLION things, an pluse ox on your foot you tried to take off all the time, an IV in your arm and ALWAYS coming in to give you a breathing tx which you HATED.

Later that eve after Daddy got home you started to grunt when you would breath and you were not wanting to drink or eat ANYTHING. We could tell you didnt feel good at all and you were only getting worse. So Mommy called Dr Cooks on call number and she sent you into the hospital as Direct Admit. We were there 4 days and 3 nights and it was CRAZY ! You didnt sleep much and neither did Mommy and Daddy. The first night Mommy ended up get an AWFUL stomach virus, and I threw up for hours, at abour 3:00am I and threw up so much I couldnt hardly walk I was so weak, Daddy said I was as white as a ghoast and he called your Mamaw to come and help us. I got a little rest and stoped throwing up. The night got a little better since I was no longer throwing up, but you wouldnt sleep in the crib so mommy had to sign somethign so we could get a normal hospital bed and that way mommy and daddy could lay in it and hold you and you sleep with us, we took turns and NO WHERE in that hospital room is comfortable to sleep on.

Mimi and Papaw couldnt be around you bc the RSV and Mimi being on chemo could really make Mimi sick, the Dr. told Mommy that you couldnt be around Mimi for 3 to 4 weeks, and it was a LONG 3 to 4 weeks Mimi wanted to see you so bad, but we couldnt take the chance of Mimi getting sick. 

So at a little over a year old you have been in the hospital 3 times. 1 when you were born, 1 when you had a stomach virus at a very young ago, and this time with RSV.
