In the image, Huff gazed lovingly down at Honey, who was intubated, as they snuggled underneath a fuzzy blue blanket.
She continued, 'The past few days have been very tough. Watching your child sick is one of the most heart breaking things.
'Seeing her little struggle brings me to tears like I have never cried, but seeing her strength has given me smiles I have never smiled. The love I have for this girl is unmatched.

'She makes us laugh when we want to be crying, because of her wild and sweet fighter spirit,' Sadie said. 'Seeing the nurses and doctors love her and laugh at her silliness in the midst of sickness has brought joy to a dark room.
'It's not over yet, and that is sad, but we are believing for the days to come! To all the mamas and dads out there watching their child go through sickness I grieve with you.'
The Dancing With The Stars alum, who is a devout Christian, concluded her post with a psalm.

'This is what we are declaring right now… "You did it: you changed wild lament into whirling dance; You ripped off my black mourning band and decked me with wildflowers. I'm about to burst with song; I can't keep quiet about you. God, my God, I can't thank you enough." Psalm 30:11-12 MSG I'm so grateful for our friends and family believing this with us! RSV you stink.'
According to the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention, almost all children will be infected with RSV by the time that they are two years old but the majority of those cases are mild.
The CDC website states: 'One to two out of every 100 children younger than 6 months of age with RSV infection may need to be hospitalized. Those who are hospitalized may require oxygen, intubation, and/or mechanical ventilation (help with breathing). Most improve with this type of supportive care and are discharged in a few days.'
