Thankful....

After writing about how Brandon is being fussy and crabby (mostly because he is sick) I read another moms blog and fear crept inside me.

MckMamma (www.mycharmingkids.net) has 4 kids and her youngest is just a few weeks old. When she was pregnant with him she was told he had a significant heart defect and possibly wouldn't live outside the womb. Stellan (her baby boy) proved all the doctors wrong and is a healthy baby boy....until the last few days. Her blog (mycharmingkids.net) explains the horror and fear of RSV (which was ruled out with Brandon). Stellan is VERY sick and they are praying for his life right now. He is border line needing to be intubated and pretty much on a vent. Not only is he a strong boy....she is ONE strong Momma! He is in the PICU and will be there for 7 to 10 days they think. You can read her blog to learn more. Just think...if that was us!!!!

I can't imagine going through what she has experienced. Thank GOD Brandon is healthy and didn't have RSV or any other significant breathing issue. We are blessed! Tonight as I drift off to sleep I will most likely think of Stellan and MckMamma....and how she is such a strong mom! God Bless Them Both!
