A Mother’s Heartbreak

My heart broke this week when our little Brenzie got hospitalized due to cough and colds.  He got the virus strain from Trixie and Brandon, so just imagine what our family is going through these days.  We decided to admit him at UST Hospital because he's barely a month old and he can't fight the virus on his own.  I was fighting back the tears while we were at the pediatrician’s clinic, waiting for the doctor’s orders for admission.  At the hospital, I witnessed twice how the doctors inserted tubes in Brenzie’s nostrils to suck out the thick mucus.  I also saw how they put in the needle through his wee little hand for the IV.  Watching those procedures was okay for me (I think Grey’s Anatomy prepared me for it) but hearing my baby’s cries was unbearable.  My poor little baby, you were so brave!  If only I could take the pain for him.  Thank God his lungs cleared already and he is now at home recovering.  I pray that something like this won’t happen again to any of my kids.
