What we thought was the flu did not go away. Briggs got sicker and sicker and could not keep anything down. We were horrified when we took him to the doctor and he told us that they would be taking him in an ambulance to Little Rock Children's Hospital three hours away. His life was in danger and his kidneys were failing.
Briggs spent two weeks in the hospital. The doctors discovered that he had an obstruction in his bowel and he needed surgery. We prayed and prayed that he would be ok. Daddy was right by his side and jumped if he ever needed anything. It was so sweet to watch. The surgery went excellent! We were very happy and blessed that Briggs would be ok and coming home with us soon. We love and adore him so much. He is a very important part of our family.
This picture is the saddest moment. He hated the tube in his nose and would try to pull it out if he could. The doctors had to tie him down so that he could not move. It broke my heart. Daddy gave him a blessing to have to courage to endure this horrible time. As his Mommy, it hurts to even look at this picture. But seeing it makes me grateful that we made it through and that he is home and healthy. The Lord has blessed us. I love you Briggs. You mean the world to me and the entire family. We are so lucky to have you.
