Beckett's First Overnight...
I never would have thought Beckett's first overnight away from home would have been when he was just 10 months old, or that it would be at Seattle Children's Hospital. This incident was by far the scariest moment of my life. As a mom there is nothing worse than having your child hospitalized and feeling helpless because you have absolutely no control over the situation. To make a long story short, Beckett was hospitalized due to respiratory distress and ended up having to stay 2 nights in the hospital. He was diagnosed with confirmed case of RSV which resulted in Bronchiolitis. RSV is a virus that can cause serious reactions in young infants and may even lead to death. Beckett was not your typical victim of RSV as he was a full-term baby, big for his age, and quite strong. What we think happened was that he had a weakened immune system from being sick the previous week and was exposed to RSV most likely from his daycare. While he's currently recovering from an ear infection and still sounds quite congested, Beckett finally got his little spark back and seems to be doing much better! Thank you to all who kept us in your prayers and sent messages of love and support! What a blessing to know we have such wonderful friends and family! A HUGE thank you to Beckett's grandma who met us at his doctors appointment that afternoon, went with me to the hospital, and stayed with us through the 7 1/2 hours in the emergency room. Beckett loves his grandma and we are very thankful for all her love and support! Thanks Mom! :)
Feeling better! (notice how he's into the things he shouldn't be?)
Waving bye-bye while in "the cage".
