Last Thursday, Brigham and I got a 2 minute ambulance ride from the pediatrician's office to the Show Low Hospital. Brigham's oxygen level was very low and and he was extremely dehydrated. After 1 blood draw, 1 chest x-ray, 2 really deep nose suctions, and 3 unsuccessful IV starts, our poor little guy tested positive for RSV. It's that respiratory virus that babies shouldn't get because it's VERY BAD!!! And as you can see by the look on Brigham's face above it really is VERY BAD. Or maybe that's the "GET ME OUT OF HERE" face??! Either way, after 52 hours (but really, who's counting?) in the Show Low Hospital Brigham was released breathing on his own.
And here he is today.
SOOOO much better. Amazing what the proper amount of oxygen will do for someone. It's GOOD to have him smiling again!
