so, here’s a thread! over a week ago, on his three-month birthday, my baby boy had to go to the emergency room.

he was in respiratory distress due to a NON-corona virus, basically a cold bug, that can wreak havoc on infants’ tiny systems. he ended up in the icu for five days. I didn’t know how to tweet about this while he was in a hospital bed, hooked up to oxygen — and, for a while, a cpap machine — to keep his airways open.
