Yesterday I posted about my most important task for that day which was taking care of my son. I didn’t realize what that might entail when I wrote that early Thursday morning while Jack napped in the middle of the living room floor. [Jack is 18 months by the way]
We went straight from our doctors appointment to Cooks Children’s Hospital for further tests after it was determined that Jack was showing signs of RSV and having a difficult time breathing normally. We had two breathing treatments done at the doctor’s office before heading to Fort Worth.
After several hours at Cook’s we were allowed to return home. Jack’s breathing had returned to a somewhat normal rhythm. We’ll still be on watch for the next 7-10 days and could return to Cook’s if his breathing becomes labored again, but we’re hoping we’re out of the woods.
We’ll see. I can’t wait to see him back to normal showing us his fake smile like this pic.
It was a whirlwind day, but I finish it with deep gratitude for my son and for the excellent care available to him in this area.
I appreciate your prayers for our little guy. The virus will have to run it’s course over the next week or so.

Poor little guy! How scary. We’ll be saying a prayer for little Jack, and for you and your wife as well. Sometimes I think those trips to Cooks are harder on the parents than the children.
