Mike is currently enjoying his turn to take Jack to get his goop suctioned out. They just left. This makes the 3rd time today for goop-sucking at the hospital.
I am taking this opportunity to do a load of laundry. I haven't done a spec of laundry for 5 days...you can only imagine the mountains of laundry around here. There are no words.
Isabelle's after-school job was to load the dishwasher, clear off the kitchen bar and wipe it. It took her 45 minutes. True, she is a world-class dawdler. But still. 45 minutes.
As I held him, Baby has been rubbing his ears against me all day. He also bats at them and pulls at them. Poor little boy, they must hurt so badly. Having rsv isn't hard enough; both his ears are also infected .
As for me, I stole an hour nap tonight from 8-9pm. It was bliss! AN HOUR of sleep, uninterrupted. Jack has been constantly needy--that is no overstatement--and I have hardly had 2 minutes to shove a taco time bean burrito in my mouth. Yes. That is the sum total of my food intake since 9pm last night. Oh wait---my friend Ali brought kneaders soup & bread (blessed girl) around 6:30, and so I did shovel some of that down between baby-cries.
Goodnight.
p.s. I am pasting this email on my blog to suffice as a post. It summarizes my day and i won't have time to string 2 sentences together once baby gets home from the hospital. Excuse me now, while I go speed-fold some laundry.

I am so sorry for you and the baby! Goop suctioning cannot be fun, especially 3 times in one day.
Moms need sleep to function, is there any in your future?
Oh, Poor little guy. Poor Mom too. There is nothing worse than a sick baby. Hugs for you both!
Oh Crystal, your poor little babes! I am so sorry that you guys are going through this, that darn RSV!!!! Laundry shomdry, who cares if it piles up, you need to be able to function so steal those little naps whenever you can okay. Thinking of you all and sending healthy vibes your way!
I pray he gets better soon. Poor little Hanson family!!! Love and hugs.
OH poor little guy! I am so sorry that he has RSV...that is scary stuff. Poor mama...I am tired just reading this. I really hope that he gets better fast! Double ear infections?! I HATE THOSE!
Poor guy (still manages to be adorable, though). So sorry that the baby is sick - that really shuts everything down. I hope he gets better real quick.
Oh no! I wish I lived closer...you know I love laundry!
Oh and sometimes it takes me 45 minutes to do all of that too...LOL

What! I had no idea little Jack was sick - poor baby. Is he doing any better? There's nothing worse than a sick baby - what can I do to help? I would call you but I don't have your new number - maybe I can track it down.
I'm so sorry about baby Jack!
Glad that Dad could take his turn at the hospital, and that your friend brought you food!
Hang in there!
I'm so sorry. Did you get my txt? Let us know what we can do to help. I think we are all healthy now.
I'm so sorry! Avery had RSV when she was about 11 months old. So not fun. Hang in there.
Oh that looks painful! I'm sorry sweet little Jack is having such a time of it--and you are beyond exhausted.
Oh... so sorry that he has to go through this. And you... Hopefully you all get enough rest soon. Take care.
Oh no. Poor boy. Poor you. Poor everyone in the family.
I wish I could at least fold your laundry for you.
Oh so sad. I hope he is doing better (and you too).
Oh my gosh, we have never had RSV and are so grateful after reading this! I hope you two are feeling better!
Poor little guy. Those photo just tell it all. What a nice friend to bring your some food and so glad you got a little nap. Lol, Michelle :)
Oh no, I'm so sorry for you and the baby :(
Sending prayers and hugs your way!!!
Poor baby and poor you! I'm all for falling asleep on top of all the unfolded socks.
Oh, that sounds terrible! I sure hope he is doing better now.
Oh dear! RSV is so nasty, I can't believe you had to go to the hospital 3x in one day! Hope he's feeling better soon and that you can sleep.
pardon my ignorance, but what is baby goop? I can only imagine it has to do with nose stuff? oh my dealing with a sick baby is ten fold....you are soo helpless sometimes in aiding them. Hope he is tons better, it is a shame I haven't taken time to see any one's life as of late....hope you are doing well, my friend, life is certaintly tough at times, but with friends like you, things run smoother.
Take care.

what is rsv? I'm telling you, if you don't learn things when you are young...is frightening......
Wow, too crazy! I hope you get another nap soon.
Poor baby! And poor Jack! I am sending well wishes your way - I hope he gets better soon and you can get some sleep!
