The Balancing Act – When Moms Become Super Moms Part 2 (a five part series) - continued

The doctor’s initial comments included those dreaded possibilities of RSV, pneumonia, maybe he swallowed a toy, and asthma to name a few. I stood protectively by and watched as they took x-rays, put an IV into my son’s hand, attached a blood oxygen reader to his big toe and gave him breathing treatments to calm his breathing down.

The whole evening seemed to move in slow motion and there I was singing refrain after refrain of crunchy munchy honey cakes. My son had been through more in the first few hours of this experience than I had been through in my entire life. After four hours, they told us our son needed to be admitted so they could run more tests and monitor him throughout the night. When I asked about us staying with him in the room, I was informed that only one parent could spend the night. I politely, yet firmly explained that we would both be staying the night and we would worry about the accommodations after my son was admitted and comfortable for the night.

As it turned out they found room for all of us to be together and we had a wonderful team of doctors and nurses who were wonderfully polite to us and very good with our son.

I never knew what I was capable of as a parent until this moment. Can you remember a time when you found an inner strength you didn’t know you had?
