Hospital Bound

So it has been a couple of weeks since baby Jude was born. Thought I would give those non facebookers of the world an update as to what has transpired. We came home with Jude and all was well. That is until Sunday night when we noticed he was acting different. Went to the doctor (our good friend Ben) on Monday and found out Jude has RSV. Basically it is a virus that a lot of kids get by the age of 2. Problem is very few get this at 2 weeks. Symptoms that Jude is experiencing are a lot of congestion a cough, and he cannot breathe without the help of oxygen. He also started to get a fever last night and this has come and gone. We originally thought we would be here for a couple of nights and here we still sit. So basically in laymans terms until Jude can breathe on his own he has to stay at the hospital. Courtney is obviously getting tired and I have been trying to juggle taking care of Olivia and being there for Courtney and Jude. We are so thankful to our community of friends and family who have prayed for us, brought meals, and helped out with Olivia at the drop of a hat (special thanks to Jenny and Lia). I am supposed to start back work next week but Judy (Courts mom) came for the weekend and my dad and possibly mom will come next week as needed. We know beyond the shadow of a doubt that God is in control and is protecting our little man, and feel so blessed to have an otherwise healthy son. It still is hard as a parent to watch child go through anything that is not comfortable so say a prayer for the Emert family. I will try to post as time allows.
