Landon's hospital visit

On Saturday January 30th Landon was admitted to the Utah Valley Hospital for RSV. He started coughing on the Thursday before and by Saturday he was running a fever and not eating very well. I called the Doctor to ask if there was anything that I could give Landon, because at this point he was getting miserable. The doctor heard Landon coughing while I was talking to him and told me to bring him in right away and that he wanted to check him out for RSV. So I called Diana(my mother in law) and asked if she could come and stay with the girls while I took Landon in. We waited for an hour and a half before getting back to see the Doctor. It was soooo busy there. The waiting room was so full that people were having to stand. Oh my... so many things were going through my head. Why were all of these kids here? Is Landon going to catch something really bad from being stuck in this room for so long? Stuff like that. So we finally made it back to see the Doctor and he listened to Landon and sent us right over to the hospital. Dang it! What was I going to do? Brandon was out of town working, the kids are home with Nana and I have to deal with all of this on my own. I went to the hospital and got Landon all checked in then went home to make arragnments for the kids. We were so lucky to have family around to help and to have such amazing friends that are right there ready and willing to help as well. Brandon flew in that night and came straight to the hospital to see Landon. I was so relieved to have him home. Sadly he had to go right back the next day. But he was able to fly back and forth all 5 days that Landon was in the hospital to see him and be with us as much as he could. It was hard going back and forth but totally worth it!
Here are some pictures from Landon's hospital stay...
