Court's Trip to Children's Hospital

Well, unfortunately both boys got sick last week, but Court's little body couldn't fight the virus (probably RSV) as well as Emerson's.  After a few trips to the pediatrician with Gran, the doctor called the ambulance to take Court over to Children's Hospital.  He was having a hard time getting enough oxygen and his heart rate, breaths per minute, etc. were extremely rapid.  After a long 8 hours in the ER, they admitted our baby to the hospital for a few days.  However, as you can see below, his little body bounced back rather rapidly.  Pics from phone aren't the best, but you can follow his marked progress day to day!  Thankfully, he is back healthy 100% just in time for Christmas!  We are so blessed...(p.s. - Gran got her holidays a little confused.  Though it is Christmas, our baby went to the hospital in his Halloween PJ's.  Go figure!?!?!?)

On a separate note, the doctors were exteremely concerned by his size and feeding issues.  Little Cout turned 16 months while in the hospital, but is the size of an average 6 month old (18lbs).  He just does not have any desire to eat, which has been a struggle for some time.  We have an eval scheduled with the GI and occupation therapy for feeding, both beginning early January!  We definitely need help, so I am personally looking forward to both!
