It started out like a cold and I wasn't too worried, but by that night he couldn't sleep at all and he moaned and cried and could barely sleep. Nat took him to the doctor in the morning and they said they were pretty sure it was RSV and got him on some breathing treatments. They were good for about an hour and then he'd be wheezing and coughing and crying again. By evening he started coughing up streaks of blood, so it was off to the E.R. He really scared us! Thankfully I have a great visiting teacher who came and picked Bixente up from the E.R. and took him home with her for a few hours so he didn't wait the whole 5 hours at the hospital with us. The hospital staff also gave Sebastien a steroid to help with his lungs. It was funny how he reacted. He went from laying in my arms and crying to standing up on the hospital bed and hitting me with a pillow! He was laughing and yelling "Attack!" He then lost his balance and fell off the bed with no rails. Luckily I managed to catch him by the ankle right before he hit the floor! He scared me to death. He then asked for a drink and ate the crushed ice by the handfuls! He's still pretty miserable, but thanks to a priesthood blessing, the prayers of so many of you and the help of the breathing treatments he is doing better!

O poor Sebastien! It is no fun having sick babies is it? It's just so sad.
You do have 2 very cute boys though. I think they are both so adorable!
