There Is A First Time For Everything....Dang It

Justin and I were talking the other day with how lucky we have been that Jett hasn't ever been sick besides the typical teething fever and runny nose. Well we shouldn't have ever said that out loud! In the middle of the night this past week I woke up to a weird sound, I listened closely and woke Justin up and we figured out that it was Jett coughing. We thought nothing of it because he wasn't sick or even acting sick the day before. He went back to sleep and woke up a few hours later with the sweetest raspiest cough, voice I had ever heard. Thursday was so hard to be at class knowing he had a cough. When I went to pick him up he was acting fine and we thought he just had a little cough. I made a Dr. appt. for the next morning with Dr. Ethridge. Right before bedtime we saw that he had a little bit of a runny nose. We prepared for a slow weekend, realizing he might have a little cold. Friday morning he woke up at 2;00 fussy, we tried to wait it out but when we took his temp it was 104.8. We were walking through the doors of the Emergency Room ten minutes later. They took him in and started all the Dr. stuff that they do. They wanted to put and IV in his arm and I'm not sure if that was worse for Jett or for me. I cried as I had to hold my sweet boy down. Justin had ran back home to get his diaper bag because we had forgotten it. They had the needle in his arm and could not find the vein so after a minute of so of searching they gave up and Justin was back to hold him down for the other arm. They found the vein and put his arm in a little splint so he would bend it. They took two X-rays and some blood and let Jett sleep while we waited. An hour or so later they came in to tell us that he had RSV. That is a scary word around my little brain. So we have just been laying around trying to beat this and being really lazy. Even though we love those sweet cuddles and tender moments as he lays in our arms, we just are so sad that he is sick. We take for granted health and I am so grateful for how happy and healthy he is a normal day. In between his medicines and naps he is happy and tries to carry on as normal. Here are some pics.....
