hospitals and hair.

Peter was in the hospital for two days this week. He has RSV. There is something so sad, but somehow so cute at the same time, seeing your baby with a little oxygen tube in his nose and an IV in his tiny hand. It broke my heart to have him in the hospital... but he got the help that he needed in order to breathe, and is feeling much better now. I don't know what it is about our boys and their respiratory problems. Hopefully he won't have asthma like Lincoln when he grows up. (I only had my phone with me at the hospital... no camera. These are pictures of pictures on my phone!)

Lucky for us there was a snow day on Friday and Jeremy was able to stay home with the kids. He had it all lined up for people to tend them and get them to school since he had two patients scheduled... but was thrilled when he got to stay home with all of them for the day. We got so much snow, so fast! All of this fell in just a couple of hours. I'm so glad my husband shovels our walks... I keep telling him that we need to invest in a snow blower... but he loves the exercise shoveling gives him.
We traded spots halfway through the hospital stay... I came home with the kids and Jeremy stayed with Peter. When I got home there was hot soup and bread waiting on our porch for dinner. The next day dinner arrived for us as well. We have the best friends in the whole world! My favorite was seeing how rag-a-muffin my kids looked after my being gone for one day. I think we need to teach daddy how to do some ponytails... poor girls. We will be extra careful in where we take our little Peter Peter Punkin Eater from now on. I don't like it when my kids are in the hospital one bit!

So I have been thinking about it and I think the reason your girls have escaped the gumbo is that girls lungs develop faster than boys do. True story there is a higher mortality rate for preemie boys due to their lungs being underdeveloped.

I am glad he is home and that you have such great friends and a ward family that takes care of you when none of us can.
