Oh Jess. I'm so sorry to hear everything that is happening to you and Patrick. You will both get better - soon. Hang in there. Patrick is getting the best care he can.

There are lots of viruses going around. It has gone through our household, and now my little one has it and is crying non-stop. It's heartbreaking. And when they are so small there is nothing you can give them to relieve the coughing.

Ensure you keep your own health up for when Patrick comes home. You don't want to run yourself down. It's a real shame about the mastitis. Can that heal up & you continue to breast feed later? I hope so for your sake.

Take care of yourself. Hugs to you.
