Have you ever heard that when you have a child, it's like having your heart walk around outside your body?
Lucas has RSV, or bronchiolitis. Mucus in his lungs. He is coughing and congested. Can't breathe. Getting an ear infection as a complication. Refuses to nurse so we have to squirt milk into his mouth with a syringe. We're using a nebulizer for half an hour every four hours.
I miss my baby. I haven't nursed him in three days. He is extremely fussy because he is so miserable.
And because he is miserable, I feel like my heart is broken.

While I was typing this, I heard a knock at the door. I have the best friends ever. I found a care package on the doorstep. Tears.
Thank you, thank you, thank you....
