Reid Update

Okay most of you already know that my sweet little Reid is in the hospital so I thought I would share this last few days with you guys.
Thursday evening I noticed he was starting to get a little congested but just chalked it up to a cold. so we went about our normal routine(apparently sharing our germs like you teach your children to do)
Friday i went to work as planned and left Reid with my dad who said since Reid didn't feel good he was just going to hold him all day. he brought him to the hospital to nurse during the day and he was about the same AS the day before. I on the other hand felt horrible. I came home from work nursed the baby and took NyQuil. Reid was up most of the night screaming so I got very little sleep.
Saturday: the girls had a birthday party to go to so David dropped them off and i went to pick them up. I than am home and laid in the bed and did not get out all day. We had the humidifier going and a Vick's steamer.
Sunday: I got up for work I noticed Reid was working hard to breathe so I had my mom stay home from church with him. she brought him up here for one of the docs to look at him. we ordered some out patient lab he came back RSV positive but he looked okay so I was going to try and treat him at home......I get home from work at 730pm David had given him one breathing treatment and he said he thought he was doing better. I listened to him and decided to give him another treatment. After that I counted his respiration's and they were 78 OMG and retracting so I called the doctor and e was able to do a direct admit which pretty much means we got to bypass the ER.
we are still here he now has double pnuemonia we are hoping to get home by friday. Just keep us in your prayers. My girls are needing us home.
