His mother was beside herself with worry because he has bad lungs, thanks to my stupidity...I smoked when I was pregnant. He then, at the age of two and a half, was hospitalized with acute bronchitis, and every cold he’s ever had has settled in his chest. He fought this thing for a month, and was too sick to give me updates.
Looking back, and from comparing symptoms, I think it was COVID-19. Just my thoughts on it. But I’m thankful that he once again survived my inexperience and ignorance as a mom.
My mother smoked when she was pregnant, too. Russ and I have perfectly fine lungs. Maybe it was poor genes on his father’s side.
