Bryce's RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus)

We had some bad news today that Bryce has RSV and now he's in the hospital. Apparently it's a lot like the common cold but hits little babies a little harder. Sydney has been sick since last Thursday with a running nose, cough, and occasional fever but hasn't really acted sick. She gave it to Melissa who had headaches, sore throat and fevers for a few days. Bryce started getting sick on Sunday or Monday with coughing and sneezing. He's also been burping up his breast milk a lot lately. Tuesday night he really scared us because he was about to puke up his milk and then stopped breathing. Melissa laid him down and gave him a quick breath and he puked up his milk and started breathing again. So we took him into the doctor Wednesday and his blood oxygen level was only 85% when you're supposed to be in the upper 90s. Melissa asked about the breathing thing and the doctor said he probably would have puked it up on his own and in the future to tip him over and slap his back. He sent us home and said to come back tomorrow if he was any worse. Wednesday was bad again with lots of coughing and spitting up so Thursday (today) he was admitted to Avista Hospital. They suctioned his nose which helped and now have put him on oxygen to help him breath better. The doctor said we'll probably be there through the weekend. It's not how we were hoping to spend our weekend, especially since it's supposed to be mid 60s here and sunny. Please keep Bryce in your prayers for a quick recovery.
