As most of you guys know, Baby Colt caught RSV when he was 14 days old and had to be admitted into the hospital for a week. Basically, RSV is a cold to older kids and adults but since Colt was so little, he couldn't clear out the mucus out of his throat on his own like we can. So every 3 hours in the hospital, they had to stick a tiny tube down his nose to the bottom of his throat and suction out the mucus. We had to stay until the mucus had cleared out on it's own, which ended up being a week. We were lucky enough to get Colt off of the oxygen the night before we left so we didn't have to deal with an oxygen tank at home. It was a hard week on Colt, being poked so badley all week and even harder on me having to watch it happen! It was a VERY long week of sleeping in a recliner chair and I am SO glad to be home and have my little guy doing so much better! My mom and dad saved the day by taking care of Troy all week. It was such a blessing to have their visit here overlap with our hospital visit. I don't know what we would have done without them!
