From Becky:
The doctors say that he has RSV and then something called Human Metapneumovirus. There is quite a bit of information on both via the internet. Apparently, both being viruses are not easily treated and take time. I just stepped out of the room for a little bit (they have internet available to parents here) but he has had a great night so far and seems to be maintaining his oxygen levels with less oxygen assistance than before. After being suctioned a couple of times (not something I would wish on my worst enemy) he seems to be significantly clearer and capable of drinking a bottle without sounding like he is drowning. We feel awfully blessed by yesterday’s events and are so grateful for everyone's prayers. It all depends on if he can keep a wet diaper, not run a fever and maintain consistent levels of oxygen with assistance before we can bring him home. Regardless of what happens it sounds like he will still be sick for about 4-6 weeks. It was so sad to go in to the ER here is Salt Lake yesterday and see all of the people waiting to get their little ones in to see doctors. With us coming in the life flight, we did not have to wait the approximately 4 hours that everyone did and were able to begin receiving care more quickly. Ok, I guess that is all of the babble I have for now. Bear in mind I have been a bit sleep deprived so my thoughts may be a bit scattered.
We love you!

I guess we will know more today. I included some links below that you can click on to learn more about the viruses. Becky told me that the sickness kind of hits you on a bell shaped curve, and that days 3, 4, 5 are the worst. She thinks that Sat, Sun, Mon, were his 3, 4, 5 days. Last night and this morning showed signs of getting better. The Dr. had not been in yet to comment on his progress. I am sure we will learn a lot more today and I will pass it all on as I get it.

Thanks for the update, Jared. We are remembering the little guy in our prayers. Mikayla had RSV when she was 4 months old and it was so hard! We love you guys. Will you pass our love on to Becky? Or maybe I can find her number and call her.
