Prayers for a healthy Easter...

Every year, an estimated 125,000 babies in the United States are hospitalized with ruthless RSV illnesses. Can we make it through the season without RSV? As Wee Elliot was born two months prematurely, our little fellow was not born with enough antibodies in his petite body at birth. Hence, he has endured, like so many premature kiddos, a monthly Synagis shot since October. We received our last shot this past Tuesday. Low and behold, Wee Elliot has gotten sick...really sick, for the first time since his debut in August. We are treating an upper respiratory virus and croup currently with steroids, and praying that this doesn’t turn into something more serious...primarily RSV.

I did promise Elliot that his first Easter would be filled with joy and that the Easter bunny may even bring a surprise...

It is Good Friday. I pray that Sunday brings health, a special day and a Happy Easter.
