Staley is HOME! He looks like himself again too - laughing and dancing on the ground. On Saturday morning we went to a follow up appointment at our doctor's office. Staley wasn't breathing well so, they called an ambulance to help us drive in style back to the hospital. He spent two nights on oxygen and getting IV fluids. It was amazing to see how much better he got in such a short period of time. The virus he's been fighting is called RSV and it can pack a big punch.
I was actually surprised to find the ramifications this illness had on us. I had a hard time leaving the room that he was in. I re-traced all my steps to see where he might have contracted this illness and how we could have done things differently. The unconditional love that you feel for a child is amazing - we all went nights without sleep and there was no complaining. You just DO.
It also makes you realize what your parents have done for you over the years. Thank you to all for your prayers and thoughts.
Staley promises to grow big and strong.
