Still stuck in isolation

Well, we're not going home today as we had hoped.  They put Henry on supplemental oxygen last night because is saturation kept dipping a little bit.  We'll be here until at least tomorrow, and I'm wondering if we even get to go home then.  They'll try to wean him off the oxygen today and see how he does.  Poor baby has so many freaking tubes hanging off of him.  It makes holding him and handling him so much harder.  I just want to hold and cuddle my baby without worrying about pulling out an IV or kinking his oxygen line.  

It sure stinks to be stunk here watching your baby suffer on Christmas Eve.  It just breaks my heart.  He makes the saddest faces and cries so sadly.  I want to punch in the face whoever he caught this from!  

On the bright side, at least we are Catholic.  For us, Christmas doesn't end tomorrow; it is just beginning.  Here's to hoping we'll be celebrating Henry's good health soon.  Merry Christmas everyone.

  1. My prayers are going out to you. My daughter had RSV as well, when she was very young. I know how painful it is to watch your little one with all those tubes, and unable to comfort him. May the Lord be with you, and may healing come speedily.

  2. OH, man! So sorry to hear you're in the hospital for Christmas. I'm sure it's not how you imagined you'd be spending Henry's 1st Christmas. But hopefully you are able to celebrate Christmas in some way...either in the hospital as a family of 3 of afterwards when you return home and he is healthy!

  5. Poor Henry. I am so sorry he is all hooked up to tubes and simply miserable. I can't imagine how much you want to hold and comfort him. I'll be praying that he gets better quickly and you can hold, snuggle & comfort him ASAP.
