Easter

This is how our Easter started out. A morning of church for David and Boston.

Boston with his Easter basket. All he cared about was the eggs and candy.


Carson didn't care at all.


Easter egg hunt. Boston wasn't sure what to do at first but he got the hang of it.


Then that night we ended up in the ER with Carson. Long story short he had had a cough for a couple days (started when he was exactly 1 week old) and they thought it was just a virus but 3 days later it turned into much worse. Easter night he was breathing heavy and coughing a lot more. So after two calls to his amazing Dr we decided to go to primary children's where they found out he had RSV which was weird because they said it was the end of RSV. Anyways this is him in the short stay area in the hospital because they thought it was on the down slop of it. A day later he was put in the PICU for a day. After a day of what they call high flow oxygen, a feeding tube, an Iv and lots of monitoring he was released to the long stay recovery.
However he got a fever so they had to do a spinal tap (was not fun to watch) blood samples and a urine test. They ruled out other infections.

We were at the hospital for 5 days with something they thought would be gone in hopefully a day. Carson came home on a small amount of oxygen and I believe he was on it for about two weeks after we got home. He is now doing well but it was a long road for him and I worry about him often but I count my blessings it was just RSV and not something worse and he was able to fight it. What a strong little boy.
