RSV and the What Ifs :(



Saylor has been in the hospital since Thursday with RSV. It came on so very fast that we didn't even really know what hit us. They are keeping him a third night because he is not breathing well without oxygen. He is so very sick and I hate seeing him like this.

I just called my mother who is a RN and asked her to tell me the truth. I asked her if there is anyway Saylor could take a turn for the worse and die. I told her to be honest with me, because if there is a possibility I wanted to know. Wanted to prepare myself. I was very stern and begged her to tell me if that was a possibility. She said that he is in the hospital where they are watching him so no, but I am not totally convinced. I have actually been really calm throughout the last few days and have surprised myself a bit. Today though, when the doctor said that he still wasn't doing much better and they were going to keep him, I started feeling very panicky. Of course he could die. Babies have died from a lot less than RSV and some even die from nothing at all. He actually has a serious illness that has been diagnosed. Tess died from who knows what. I keep thinking that we need Saylor and the Lord knows that so there is no way that he won't get better. I am trying to have faith, but right now I am feeling kind of scared. I can tell you one thing.......I am going to be one hot tamale if something happens and someone didn't prepare me for the worst.

Please pray that our Saylor man gets better soon.
