Additional Comments: I accidentally put my topic on the big board instead of this one! Red's baby is sick, and I wanted to let people know so they could pray for him. She is extremely worried! He can't cry and can hardly breathe, and is burning with fever; she is very worried it could be pneumonia. She was on her way to the hospital with him; I'll update when I hear, if she doesn't. I'm assuming they'll probably be at the hospital for a while.

UPDATE: February 22

Red is doing a little better, but still on pain meds. Jesse is getting better and snorting! Chad is keeping after Britteny's eating. (She totally agreed that Chad has a full time job going with all of them!) Here's the last part of what she said in her email!

Thank you so much for all the support and thanks to all who prayed for us. I appreciate it so much. It might be a while until I get back into posting on the boards. I cant wait to get back into it again. I need to start watching the shows again too. Am I missing anything good?

(You can tell she's raring to get back after Fluffy and Brooke and St. Horley!)

Fee...hope things will be better every day. What a tough time they have had. My best to all of you.

Thanks for keeping us updated, fee. I'll be praying.
One of my boys has been hospitalized several times with pneumonia, so I understand the fear that grips you when your child is struggling to breathe, and I struggled with anorexia when I was 13, so I can relate to her struggle with her daughter, too.

NEWEST update from this morning (2/20)

OK, I heard this morning. Red had to have some surgery, and is at home recovering now. Baby still very sick, but she thinks the congestion is starting to break up some; is still watching him very closely. Brittany is down from a size 12 to a size 7! She is just really stretched in so many directions having to watch out for everything! Sounds like she still DEFINITELY needs the prayers!

Thanks for the update, fee. I am so glad that Jesse is recovering. I certainly feel for Red, I know how terribly upsetting and scary it is to have a sick baby! And so exhausting! I do hope she is getting some rest. I'm sure she needs it badly!

Here's the latest update I had a little while ago!

Thanks fee, We are home now but I am still on edge with him. He has such a horrible cough. I have him on the meds religiously and I don't think I have put him down for a whole 5 minutes at a time. He still has no voice but it doesn't stop him from trying. He can still snort though when hes mad and that is a relief.

I am taking him to our family doctor for a follow up appointment today. He still isn't 100% and They told me to not expect total recovery for a week. We are hanging in there. I was told to get some sleep because I am about to crash and burn. So I will keep you updated on his condition.

I was just getting ready to email you for an update. Keep us informed, okay? Apparently this is a bad bug season for everyone.

Just heard from Red. It is pneumonia, and they are back and forth to the hospital. Jesse is on antibiotics and steroids. Please keep the prayers coming!

Still haven't heard anything as of 10:30 this morning. I emailed her last night, so I'm sure she'll let me know something as soon as she can.

No more word from her last night or this morning yet. Will be back later this afternoon, and see if I've heard anything yet by then

Prayers for lilredhead's baby. Sounds like a case of really bad lung congestion-could use some moist vaporizer treatment ASAP.
