My six-week-old nephew is in the hospital with pneumonia *and* RSV. I am beside myself with worry for the poor baby and family, but trying to trust that he's in good hands now that he's in the hospital. He's about the age Tomorrow was when we brought her home from the hospital (she was 5.5 weeks) so I can recall vividly how fragile they seem to be at that age (and I know for sure how sleep deprived parents are with a baby that age, too). They sleep so much at that age, waking just to feed and poop, and it can be hard to tell if they are lethargic or just plain young.
Please send your good vibrations, healing energy, positive thoughts and/or prayers to Baby Z and his mother and father who are not feeling so hot themselves and running on fumes to boot.

Zion is being release from the hospital today! The family will be staying at the College of the Ozarks for a few days to make sure he's stable and then they will be flying to Colo. Spgs. (in a private jet owned by the president of C of O!) where they will first meet Z's pediatrician (who is also my nephew Wil's ped! and breastfeeding friendly!) just to be sure it's safe for him to make the climb up to Bear Trap (10,000+ altitude). We are so relieved and reaady to give Z Mara's swing which she refuses to sit in!
