off topic but need prayers

It has been a bit of a roller coaster ride since my daughter was born 3 weeks ago. Our 2 year old has been sick almost constantly since then which is really unusual for her. So, my hubby & I have been doing what we can to keep the two of them separate. Apparently we did not do a good enough job. My 3 week old started coughing & then having labored breathing on Thurs morning. Her pediatrician admitted hrr to the children's hospital immediately. She tested positive for RSV which is a pretty nasty respiratory virus. It looks like a bad cold in adults or older children hut is really hard on tiny babies. There is not much that can be done except give supportive therapy & wait it out. 

Cora is on oxygen & IV fluids because she is working so hard to breathe that she doesn't want to eat. Her ped almost put her in the nicu this morning but her  breathing calmed down enough during the day that thankfully that wasn't necessary. They will try to start waning her off of oxygen tomorrow & see how she does.

It is heart breaking to watch this & we've already been told that the symptoms can linger for weeks after the initial virus has passed so I see a lot of restless nights in my future. To top everything off, our 2 year old has been dealing with strep for 2 weeks & this morning had a severe reaction to the antibiotics she was on. 

I know things are never easy with a new baby but it just feels like we are being put through the ringer & I am ready for a break & some good HEALTHY time to bond with my new little family.

And, not that I have much time to worry about it, but I'll have my first scan in about 10 months in January since we put all tests on hold while I was pregnant.

I know a lot of you are smack in the middle of treatments so maybe all of these things I'm talking about seem small but we could use all the prayers we can get right now.

I hope everyone has an amazing Christmas!
