I was right… Our 17-month-old foster baby, Lil Bit, developed pneumonia. I took him to the doctor last Friday with a fever; however, the doctor diagnosed him with a common cold and sent us home for the weekend.
He had the fever all weekend so I returned back to the clinic on Monday.
“This baby has RSV. Let’s send him to the hospital.”
A chest x-ray then confirmed that it had developed into pneumonia.
Our Valentine’s Day was spent in the hospital with a sick baby and a restless preschooler.
In the last few weeks, our family has dealt with the flu, record low temperatures complete with snow and cabin fever, Mommy’s sinus infection and my systemic allergic reaction to an antibiotic.
As a couple, we felt exhausted, discouraged, and alone.
Lil Bit was on oxygen during the night and recovered quickly.
He is now home and doing well with antibiotics and breathing treatments.
I am also on the rebound, both physically and emotionally. (Maybe I’ll try and jog tomorrow?)
