Looking rough and feeling downright revolting

Yeah, so we went to the ENT last Wednesday thinking we were just going for a quick follow-up appointment and ended up being in the hospital with Lil J until Sunday. The ENT suspected that the baby had a subglottic hemangioma, and, wouldn't you know it, he was right. Of course, it took a bronchoscopy and MRI to be sure. And, let me tell you something, as cruddy as it is to be in a hospital for 4 whole days, it is even worse to have the image of Lil J sedated in the ICU on a breathing tube pop into my head every once in a while. I hope he never, ever has to go through anything like that again. But, honestly, the little guy rebounded like a champ. He's doing much better now, and it's actually nice to know exactly what is causing his breathing troubles. Now we just have to wait to see how well the medication works long term.

And, here's a bonus, we found out today that somebody broke into our storage unit over the weekend and stole some of our stuff. Nothing valuable, but, I mean, really. Would somebody like to kick my puppy while they're at it?
