RSV and Hospital Time

My sweet, new little munchkin is in the hospital and has been since Sunday night, very late! He has RSV which we probably gave him as the version of the sickness that we have. He has to maintain his own oxygen for 24 hours before we can go home and the longest he has made it so far is two hours.

The story is a long one and I will tell it later. Right now I am so exhausted and juggling between the hospital, keeping myself smelling like a decent human being and trying to be around the the twins, even though the short times make it really hard. Tomorrow night I will be staying with them all night though so that Santa can come visit them and I have pumped my brains out so my awesome mom can do a night of hospital duty with baby.

Just wanted to pass on the information! I am really hoping we don't have to spend the whole weekend there. Nash is in isolation so I can't walk around with him and I hate leaving him alone in the room, I only leave to walk down and get some water and then hubby and I switch and I go home to rest, clean up and then go see the twins. This sucks, but I am grateful we are only there for a virus because there is some sad shit going down in that hospital. This is all very ironic, considering we wanted to get baby out before Christmas so we didn't spend Christmas in the hospital and here we are, spending the whole week of Christmas there!

Nash is doing great though! He is still eating, gaining weight, going potty and getting a little sleep so it's just the oxygen and congestion issue. He is such a good, sweet baby!

Here is my baby boy on his oxygen . . . .

Doing better today! Hopefully we can go home tomorrow evening sometime, we miss the twins!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday!

  9. So sorry to hear Nash is in the hospital. RSV is scary. My first son got it at 18 months, and I can't imagine a newborn with a smaller respiratory system. Hugs to you. Hoping you're home cuddling sweet Nash.

  11. Thinking of you guys, and hoping things are going better. One of my guys had RSV at age 2 months.... he was a 2.5 lb preemie at birth so only about 7 lbs when he got it. Thats all you need to know for now. Nash is a real cutie!!
