Took a Week Off from Blogging

Sorry for the hiatus and not keeping all 2 readers of you in the loop.  We had one heck of a week last week!
In my last post I mentioned how quickly PJ was changing, developing and how this Momma was having a hard time keeping up.  Well this is a lesson in being careful what you wish for.  The very next night we admitted PJ into the hospital with bronchialitis.  Talk about slowing down!  PJ had a severe cold that had his lungs and all his little tubes clogged up with A LOT mucous making it very hard to breathe.  He lost his appetite and was generally all around just sick.  He spent three days, two nights in the hospital and then three days at home before he was back to his busy body ways.
So what happened from the 27th to now?
G-Ma had just left us on Monday after helping us out; from my eye issues limiting my driving ability.  R had just returned from a business trip on Monday and stayed home with PJ on Tuesday because he just didn't sound right.  Tuesday afternoon R took PJ to the doctor to make sure that PJ was ok, since he was kinda wheezy and just all around fussy.  Surprisingly the doc sent them to the ER at Childrens' immediately.  I got the call at work that they were at the hospital and the whirlwind began.  I spent both nights at the hospital with PJ, but had to be at work for parts of the days.  R was able to take some time off but he too had a busy work week planned. Thank goodness for G-Ma!  She joined us back in Seattle on Wednesday night; helped us out on Thursday and Friday and headed back to Southern Oregon Saturday morning.  I am pretty sure we wouldn't have survived without her.  Its hard seeing your baby struggle to breathe, so cuddly and so slow when you know he prefers to be independent, bouncing and busy.  My mom really helped get us through the first hospital stay just as much as she helped being there for PJ.  After the hospital stay we still had our hands full with monitoring PJ's breathing and fever, and just praying he would get back to his usual self.  We really didn't start to relax from the whole ordeal until tonight. 
We are now back to blogging and enjoying PJ with even more love and joy for him (if thats possible).
