We took him to the hospital to get checked today. On top of having the stomach flu (which is now gone) he has a 101.2 degree fever, an ear infection in both ears and he tested positive for the RSV virus (a highly contagious respiratory virus for children). He is on antibiotics for the ear infection and has been prescribed an infant albuterol inhaler until further notice (until the coughing and wheezing stops which could be 6 weeks or longer). The poor boy is lethargic and will not eat. It breaks my heart to see him so sick and I would appreciate it if you all would keep him in your prayers.
(Brent and I are doing well)

Oh my! My heart is breaking for the little guy! I have such a hard time when my kids are sick. Especially if they are under age 2. Its just sad! I really hope that he is feeling better soon! We will keep him in our prayers!
Oh sweetie, I am so sorry. I hate it when my kids get sick too. I love little Jacob and I hope he gets well fast. He will for sure be in our prayers.
It may not make you feel better now, but little kids get well almost as fast as they get sick. He will be well soon but I know it is no fun going through it.
Hugs and kisses to you all.
Alivia just got over double ear infections...It is the worst. Especially when they don't eat. Thank Heavens for medicine! it will kick in soon and he'll get his appetite back. Hopefully the RSV will go quickly too!
We love ya and will keep him in our prayers.
I keep checking your blog for an update for Jacob. I hope he is doing better. Love ya.
