Thanks Suzanne!

He has pneumonia and is just not bouncing back. I am handling it all on my own and I just feel like I am going to screw it up. He's on Oxygen and breathing treatments and I am so worried he will have a hard time breathing and the treatments won't work.

Many of you know he has been sick off & on since birth and now I am wanting to figure out why he gets so sick. When he was sick a few months back he had a high fever for like a month and he just seems to keep getting very sick.

I should be able to have a handle on this. I am a vitamin rep and I should know how to fix him..

He's been up all night for the past few nights and I am just so tired...

My mom is gone on vacation and I just feel alone.

Thanks for letting me vent!!

Repeat after me.

The perfect blend of vitamins will not fix this. There is no magical concoction waiting for you to on a shelf. But what you've already been doing for your little guy just may be keeping him from being even sicker than he already is. Not that what I've just said makes one bit of difference for the helplessness that every mother feels when she can't make it all better... Do you have anyone that can help you out? Friend? Neighbor? You need some good solid sleep. Even just an hour or two would help you "reset" yourself.

I hope he's soon all better and I hope you'll be able to find some answers as to why he has been having such a rough time. Keep us updated!

Thanks for checking on us! We got a good report from the doctor. He said his lungs sounded much better and I could stop the Oxygen and do breating treatments as needed.

Victoria has been hacking so I PRAY she is not getting it.

I on the other hand slept from 11:30 to 7 AM WOOHOOO!!!!

Thanks for all the support guys.

Suzanne - Thanks for your SWEET offer to come and watch the kiddos so I can sleep. You are just an angel and I love you!!
