4 Days and Counting

For the past 4 days we have been in Primary Childrens Hospital: Mason has RSV.

As a mother, this is something I hoped never to go through. The last 4 days have been some of the longest of my life. I can't describe how it feels to see your newborn baby hooked up to tubes and monitors. Its been a rollercoaster ride to see him progress for a few hours and then totally crash. The main concern has been keeping his oxygen levels up. Yesterday he developed a horrible cough and "squeaky" lungs. We were really hopeful that we were going to get to come home Sunday...he was even on room air for awhile, but then his levels suddenly dropped down and they had to crank up his oxygen.

So, for now we sit, wait, and pray that our little man will pull through soon.
