Mild Respiratory Distress

As the day has progressed, Brody started showing some early signs of a possible respiratory infection. He's really been struggling to breathe and his oxygen sats have been dropping. We got a chest x-ray that shows what the doctors believe to be mucus plug. They turned up his vent settings a little and he has been doing better since. I guess its a good thing that we came up on Monday. Had we not, we would most likely have come today for this mucus plug or in a couple days when it became more serious than that. It seems like we are here ALL THE TIME. And we've had the worst luck with EVERYTHING lately. And I get really bitter because it seems that no matter how hard we try or how hard I pray, nothing ever goes well for us. And then I think how selfish I am to pity myself. Look at all Brody has gone through and continues to go through. I feel ashamed to think of myself as anything less than blessed.
